We Are Family


Membership Weekend

We had another great Membership Class this weekend with 47 people in attendance. You can click on the above picture to see a slideshow of our time together.

The family is one of my favorite metaphors regarding the church. Have you noticed that nobody asks your opinion regarding who gets admitted into your family? You enter a family through birth, marriage or adoption. So too in the family of God, everyone who has placed their faith in Christ is admitted into God's family, the church. A healthy church welcomes newcomers and values and affirms each member.

In a healthy family, everyone has an age appropriate responsibility. So too in the family of God. The body grows and builds itself up in love as each member does its part.

New Covenant is a family of growing disciples. We are committed to growing great lives. We are family.
