Who Are We?

Who We Are | What We Believe | Values | Leaders|

A bunch of very ordinary folk trying to follow an extra-ordinary man – Jesus! Our aim is to be family; everyone is vital to the life of the church. We do not have a minister so everyone has to play their part as members of the body of Christ. The church has been in Inverurie for over 30 years in one form or another.

God calls us to love one another and our neighbour as ourselves. We set up a charity called eXplore Life (XL) based around the local academies and now has several local churches working together. Before Covid we used to share a meal together on the last Sunday of every month. Maybe we’ll get back to that one day! Sharing food gives us chance to relax together, meet visitors and get to know one another better.

Our heart is to live as disciples of Jesus and do the works that he did. That means caring for folk within and outwith the church. It means we pray for people to be healed and for Him to act in our lives. It also means sharing with others the Good News of God’s love. How he has forgiven our sin through Jesus and how we are born into a new family relationship by the Holy Spirit. One of the ways we do this is through the Alpha Course.

Our heart is not just for Inverurie. We help to support a number of folk who are serving people overseas, especially China and Kenya.

The heavy bit for those who want to know roughly where we stand is that New Community Church is an independent, charismatic, evangelical church. We are affiliated to the Evangelical Alliance. We are part of the Inverurie and District Churches Together. (Phew!)
