““It didn’t feel like church. It just felt like... people.””
That was how one first-time visitor to New Day described his experience. And that’s a pretty good picture of what we hope it’s like.
From the start, our goal has been to strip away the baggage that sometimes goes along with church -- the trappings that get in the way of pursuing God. We wanted to create a warm, caring community where people can come with their pain and their questions. We wanted to explore what it looks like to follow Jesus in the 21st century.
If you’ve never been to church before, we hope you’ll feel welcome. If you’ve got some church wounds of your own, we hope you’ll find healing. Whatever your background, we’re glad you’re here. We look forward to getting to know you.
Two things we know:
Life is messy. Everyone who walks through the doors at New Day has a story of how that's true. We don't want you to feel like you have to pretend you’ve got your life together when you come to church.
God works in messes. He can use anything, and he's always in the business of transforming bad situations. Redemption is beautiful, and the more honest we are with our struggles, the more opportunity there is to see God’s hand in our lives.
New Day is a church full of people who have hard-won firsthand knowledge of what God can do. Jesus understands suffering and hardships, tiredness and stress. And he wants to meet you where you are.
