Love God. Love People. Make Disciples.
Every Sunday, 10:00am
Ready for Simple?
We get it and we're here for you. We're a church that connects you into life-changing relationships with Jesus and others through simple conversational-style worship and Bible teaching. We are a local church based in Aurora.
We live in a culture where church attendance is valued less and less. I have found that many who call themselves followers of Christ, but don’t place a high value on church attendance anymore.
Perhaps some were turned off by the hypocrisy or inconsistency they witnessed among churchgoers. For some, church attendance was just checking the religious box. All else seemed irrelevant to them. Or perhaps we’ve become too busy, and church attendance isn’t high on our priority list.
But what do you do with Hebrews 10:24 -25, “And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the day drawing near.”
God says we need to meet together as followers of Christ. Doing so stirs our hearts and affections toward the Lord and provokes us to do good works. You NEED brothers and sisters to encourage you and pray for you. You NEED people in your life who will correct you in grace and love. Our hearts cannot be trusted, so we depend upon others in our lives to help us see our blind spots.
God has provided the local church to be this kind of spiritual community. If we are not involved in a local church, if we are not living life with people of kindred faith, or if we try to live out an “it’s between Jesus and me” kind of spirituality, then our spiritual growth will be stunted. Thus, the Lord warns us not to neglect this important time together.
New Hope is a church plant or what I affectionately refer to as a "church in diapers." If you are looking for a challenge and to be a part of where God is working, then we need you. Why complicate Sunday morning with a long commute to church? Come and see a simple church. Love God. Love people. Make Disciples. See you Sunday!
