About us
Who Are We?
New Heart Church exists because God loves His people. New Heart aspires to follow the
example of Jesus and the early church by devoting ourselves “to the apostles’ teaching and to
fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer” (Acts 2:42). We commit to breaking bread
together and eating together with “glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor
of all the people” (Acts 2:46–47). We continually strive for God’s glory, our good, and the good
of all people. And, as a result, we believe the Lord will add to us people who are being saved.
Teaching of the Word of God
We focus on teaching the Word of God through Scripture-based sermons on Sunday mornings. We also have several weekly small groups that provide Scripture-based teachings, some of which are specific to certain ages or phases of life. Pastor Adam, New Heart staff, and other leaders within New Heart also regularly engage in individual discipleship—teaching and mentoring New Heart members in the truth of God’s Word.
Fellowship
New Heart Church engages in fellowship by intentionally “doing life” together, which includes bearing each other’s burdens and joys (Galatians 6:2; Romans 15:13). We schedule various fellowship events throughout the year —including BBQs in the summer, meals after church on Sundays, and retreats—as well as facilitate fellowship on Sunday mornings by offering coffee, snacks, and a warm atmosphere. Finally, we encourage New Heart members to participate in community formation by joining one of our HomeGroups. (You can learn more about
HomeGroups here.)
Breaking of Bread
One of the greatest blessings of being a small church is the opportunity to regularly break bread with one another in our homes. God has blessed us with fellow believers who have the gift of hospitality, through which we are able to gather in one another’s homes to share a meal. Through these meals, we experience the communion and unity found within the body of Christ (the Church), and we remember the sacrifice He made to unify us with Him and one another.
Prayer
The most important thing believers can do is to lift everything to God in prayer—both individually and corporately. New Heart has a weekly prayer meeting on Tuesday nights where we pray for our church, our community, and one another. There is also a group that covers every worship service in prayer. Additionally, many people in our church engage in prayer walks around our
city. All of this has resulted in seeing God work in incredible ways. We recognize that prayer is more than meetings; it is a posture of each heart as instructed in God’s Word to “pray without ceasing” (1 Thessalonians 5:17). Therefore, New Heart encourages an attitude of reliance and dependence on God through prayer.
