A family rooted in Jesus, planted in Newcastle
From a living room in 2021 to a school gym today — still ordinary people, seeking authentic faith, together.
Two couples and one child
Village Church Newcastle was launched in January 2021 when two couples (and one child) met in a living room to worship, seek God together and ask God how we could serve and bless Newcastle, Orono, Newtonville and beyond. We outgrew the house about two years later and now meet at Newcastle Public School.
What shapes us
Community
Church is the family of God, beautiful in its Jesus-centered diversity, and remarkable in its inclusion of people from every conceivable background. New life in Christ results in restored and deepening relationships, which are a sign of God’s coming Kingdom.
Scripture
Our faith and practice is grounded on God’s written word. The Bible is ancient truth that is vitally relevant today as it reveals Jesus from cover to cover.
Discipleship
We follow Jesus, learning together from him, and encouraging each other to become more like him in our day-to-day lives.
Mission
In all that we say and do, we aim to share with others the new life that is growing in us because of the death and resurrection of Jesus. We see our time, energy, resources, and partnerships as sacred responsibilities, entrusted to us by Jesus, to be used for the well-being of our neighbours in Newcastle, throughout Canada, and around the world.
What we believe
Village Church Newcastle is rooted in the story of God’s redemptive work in our world.
We follow Jesus Christ, our saviour, and believe that reconciliation to God, one another and creation is fulfilled only in Him.
We take the authority of the Bible very seriously, and find guidance, revelation and comfort there — God’s inspired and infallible message in written form.
We hold to the ancient Christian statements of faith, the Nicene Creed and the Apostles’ Creed.
Read the Nicene Creed and the Apostles’ Creed.
