Welcome to New Covenant ARP Church

We care about our community. We pray that we will be used by God to be a blessing to the Plaza-Shamrock Neighborhood and even to the greater Charlotte area.  We would love to hear your thoughts, regarding how we might better minister to this city. Jeremiah said it well – “Seek the welfare of the city…for in its welfare you will find your welfare” (Jer. 29:7).

We warmly welcome newcomers. As Jesus Christ has welcomed us, we hope to welcome you (Rom. 15:7). Sunday morning worship begins at 11:00 AM.  We have long history of welcoming anyone who would come to us; but for most of our history we failed to do outreach and evangelism. On account of that our church almost died.  We praise God that we are now committed to reaching out to our community. The Lord has been pleased to bless us with new families from the neighborhood.

We encourage hospitality and fellowship.

After  worship each Sunday, we provide a free lunch so that we can get to know one another.

We preach Christ. We are committed to verse by verse, Christ-centered, Bible preaching. Our preaching, teaching and worship are rooted in the gospel  - the Good News.

What is the Good News?  In the cross event, God the Father punished His Son, Jesus, for all the sins of all believers of all time. Jesus suffered, died, and rose from the dead on our behalf.  Jesus, in the cross event, having secured the salvation of all believers of all time, ascended to the throne of heaven, where He sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty and rules over all (Matt. 28:18). We, who believe, have received the indwelling Holy Spirit, forgiveness of sin, adoption into God’s household, and eternal life – which no one can take away.

We teach the Bible. We have two adult Sunday school classes. These begin at 9:45 AM each Sunday. One class is an overview of the entire Bible, covering Genesis through Revelation.  In March 2012, we will begin a study of the major doctrines of the Bible, e.g., the nature of Scripture itself, the Trinity, God’s providence, salvation doctrine, etc.  These classes are taught by the Pastor and four seminary students, who are curently enrolled at Reformed Theological Seminary.   The other adult class makes use of the ARP Adult Quarterly.  We hare currently using age-appropriate materials from Great Commission Publication for four age-groups of children.   The Lord has blessed us with children from the neighborhood and with godly women who love to teach them.

We train future minsters. We train them by giving them opportunities to use their God-given gifts in various aspects of ministry. Our four interns from Reformed Theological Seminary help in all aspects of our worship, outreach, and service to the community. Through this, their gifts and calling are tested and strengthened.
