Greetings from New Creation Community Church!
Would You Like to Try Our Church?
In the end, you won’t come to our worship services because you think it’s better than all the others. It isn’t. It’s just a building with the church, real people, inside. It might let you down. It might even break your heart. But know this: YOU’RE WELCOME HERE. You’re welcome here because we are all sinners. Every one of us. If you’re a sinner too, you’ll be right at home!
Some of us are judgmental. Some of us stick our self-righteous noses in each other’s business. Some of us gossip about others and have even spread nasty rumors. Sometimes we’re insensitive, sometimes we’re too busy for each other, and sometimes we’re downright obnoxious. Sometimes we fight over doctrine. Sometimes we fight over little stuff. Sometimes we just fight.
SO, WHY COME TO OUR CHURCH?
Because in spite of us, CHRIST IS HERE(not because we are good but because He is Good!!) He’s everywhere!! God the Father, Son and Spirit LOVE US and LIKE US in spite of ourselves! They Love and Like You, too!! God is making us into something good, even though we don’t see much of it. Sometimes his love shines through us. Sometimes we are kind, caring and supportive of one another. Sometimes we do make a positive difference in people’s lives in our city. Actually, Jesus Christ would do those things through us even more often, except that we are usually too selfish to let it happen. In fact, one of our slogans is, “Thank God he is Merciful— Even to This Sinaholic Bunch!”
We are simply sinners who are learning to trust that God, in Christ, has completely forgiven us, and will continue to help us love others better. If you’re a sinner too, you’d fit in here!
WHY NOT DROP BY?!
We’re in the neighborhood and invite you to visit with us, especially if you could use some GOOD NEWS & encouragement! After all, the word “Gospel” literally means “Good News!!”
The Good News of Jesus is that we are all included in the life of God - Ephesians 1: 3-6!! The Father has adopted humanity as his children, through his Son Jesus, in the power of his Spirit. At New Creation Community Church we believe that you already have a relationship with God and that he loves you, likes you, and plans for you to be his child forever. In fact, we believe that God loves you MORE than He loves himself!!
We Teach, Preach and Fellowship this Good News of our Adoption through God’s Grace in Jesus Christ each Worship Celebration - Acts 20:24!!If you are looking to get beat up, threatened, controlled and told what to do in every area of your life each week, this might not be the right fellowship for you! Actually, it probably IS the right fellowship for you, since the Gospel of God’s Grace is able to Build You Up in God’s Love as God desires - Acts 20:32!!
We CAN and DO Trust Jesus Christ to live in us to Serve and Support one another in Love and Good Works, but we Preach God’s Good News of Jesus WITHOUT ALL THE RELIGION! Jesus came to get rid of those things that were between Man and God (including religious stuff), and He reconciled All of Humanity in His Life, Death, Burial, Resurrection and Ascension to Heaven!! Now we are ALL Adopted, Included, and Home Free in the favor of God, with our sins totally forgiven, IF WE WILL ONLY BELIEVE IT AND EMBRACE IT AS TRUTH!! I Tim 4:9, 10, I John 2:1-2!! How can you experience the benefits of a TRUTH, if you don’t Trust it to be True, even if it is True?!!!
We urge you to Change your mind, Trust Jesus and Embrace God’s Good News as Truth, along with us!!
Our Motto is to “Help you Face the Reality of Life with GRACE, TRUST and FREEDOM in Christ!” We invite you to be our guest and receive an encouraging word each Sunday at 10:30am. We are currently leasing space in:
Churchland Primary and Intermediate School
5701 Hedgerow Lane
Portsmouth, VA 23703
Sundays 10:30AM – every week
And
R.L. Vann School
415 East Holman Ave,
Ahoskie, NC
Sundays 11:00AM – every week
We were all created to Celebrate in the Joy of God’s Good News; why not come and give it a try! We’ve found it brings great REST, PEACE & HOPE even in the experience of a challenging, troubling and sometimes puzzling and confusing present world!
Jesus assures the anxious, weak and troubled, “The things that are impossible with men are possible with God!! (Luke 18:27)
We hope to see you soon!
