New Covenant is made up of people who have come from many different denominations and backgrounds but all strongly committed to Jesus Christ.  We are multi-generational (ages 0 to mid-80s) and have a healthy ethnic diversity with members from many nations and international students from local colleges.  We have many young families and we provide a caring and safe environment for children to grow in a relationship with the Lord as well as with the many other children here.

Our services are approximately two hours.  We start with 30-45 minutes of lively praise and worship, followed by some "family business”  (corporate prayer, event announcements, baby dedications, welcoming of guests, etc.). This transitions to pulpit ministry for adults and Disciple Zone (Sunday School) classes for children. We have corporate communion at least once a month.  After service, there is a time for visitors to have refreshments and to get to know us.

We desire to be welcoming and trust the Holy Spirit to draw people to Him. As a body of believers, we strive to reflect the attitude and love of Christ in our lives. We recognize that it is only by God’s grace that we can know and live for him, and we gratefully embrace the gift of the Holy Spirit within us who empowers us to live out our commitment to both the Lord and each other.
