Welcome to NewCovenantBible.org



We launched our new website on Sunday. A few kudos are in order!
  • Austin Spooner - implementation team leader, code writer, training, site architect and a lot of other things that I don't fully understand!
  • Sandra Fancher - site design, usability testing and consultant
  • Brett Mason - IT deacon and project leader
  • Jeff Westrom - graphic design and consultant
  • Kris Paulson - copy writer
  • Andrew Male - graphic design, staff photos, video (including the embedded promo video)
  • Peggy Eichenberger - loading pages, graphic design
  • Brenda Gadd - editing
  • Erin Bird - design consultant
  • Voracity Solutions - the company that we used to design our site and to integrate it with our Arena church management software
My apologies if I missed someone or didn't attribute you correctly. A special "thank you" to our entire team. Having an effective web presence is becoming increasingly important as it's the first place many people turn when wanting to know more about us. Our first-time guests have often already checked our website over, watched a message and formed opinions about us before ever walking into one of our services!

Several cool features of our new site that you will want to check out:
  • Our Mobile Site - We have a special mobile site. Check us out on your smart phone!
  • ABF Finder - Now you can check out our Adult Bible Fellowships and select one or two that you want to check out. An email is sent to the ABF Community Leader so that we can follow up.
  • Volunteer - Check out the Volunteer opportunities available and select one or two that you want to explore further. An email is sent to the ministry leader so that we can follow up.
  • Online Giving - Manage your giving online. No more need to call the office to set up or manage your electronic giving.
  • Online Registration - Register for camps, membership weekend, and other events online.
  • Ministry Index - Don't overlook the cool, expandable Ministry Index on the top right.
Pretty exciting stuff. And functional too! Future phases include an online prayer module, business/ministry directory, classified directory, membership directory, small group directory/finder and more!

Let me know what you are looking for and what would be useful to you. Our website is a ministry tool to help equip us to become a family of growing disciples! It has a new look with some nice innovative features. All the for purpose of helping us accomplish our timeless mission of making more and better disciples in our generation.
