In a time when churches are often shaped by trends, traditions, personalities, or cultural pressures, this day-conference seeks to refocus our attention on God’s Word as the foundation and authority for the life and health of the church. Together we will consider what it means for Scripture to shape the life of the church—our pastors, our members, our life together as a church, and our witness to the world. Join us for @ACMEFellowship Regional: Word-Centered Church Day-Conference, hosted by @newcovbap, in partnership with @9Marks and @covenantlife. Our aim is to equip and encourage churches to recover a biblical vision of what it means to be a Word-centered church. The event is open to pastors, church leaders, and members of area churches. Our speakers include: - @jschatology (@newcovbap) - Kevin Rogers (@covenantlife) - @Aaron_Menikoff (@MVBChurch) - Omar Johnson (@THBChurch) - @joelkurz (The Garden Church) - @JonathanLeeman (@9Marks ; Cheverly Baptist Church) Registration (includes lunch on-site and free books): - $25 through August 9th - $35 starting August 10th To register, click the link in our bio. For more information, contact admin@newcovbap.church.

Due to the storm, in God’s sovereignty, we will not be able to gather in person. Please join us on Zoom at 10:30am for a shorter online meeting (about 1-hour). Email info@newcovbap.church for the Zoom link!

A rap battle…on baptism… between Charles Spurgeon… and Jonathan Edwards……. this is why the internet was created.

🖐🏼 years of grace. Five years of growth. Five years of God’s faithfulness—and trusting Him for more. From 43 founding members to a growing body, God has built His church by His grace. “In God we have boasted continually, & we will give thanks to your name forever.” —Psalm 44:8

This upcoming Sunday, Pastor Ken Mbugua of Emmanuel Baptist Church, will be preaching on Ephesians 2:1-10. Join us in praying for his preparations and for our hearts as we look forward to worshipping and hearing the Word together!

Church members who never pray for the good of the church, have no love for it; if they do not plead for sinners they have no love for the Saviour, and how can they be truly converted persons?

“This Jesus God raised up, and of that we all are witnesses.” Acts 2:32 ESV The only hope in this life is in Christ alone. Look to Him and live! Thank you Jesus for your love and life. In You we live and move and have our being.

For the month of April we will be back at Walter Johnson Highschool for our weekly gathering!

Seven weeks into the year, how are you doing with your Bible reading? Let George Mueller’s testimony inspire you to press on. By the time he reached 71 years old, he reflected on the life-changing power of reading all of Scripture — yes, even the hard parts. He read through the Bible one hundred times and found it fresh every time, deepening his peace and joy year after year. Don’t give up. Pick it up. Press on.

"Rise not up early, and sit not up late; I mean, so as to work yourself away; but give yourself up by faith to do all you can do, all that God shall help you to do; and then trust in Him to bless you, and He will bless you." @dailyspurgeon

"Neither, if you have served your Lord faithfully, shall you have the shame of their ruin if they are lost."

"Feel the weight of men's souls till it crushes you down to Christ's feet, but do not let it crush you any lower than that; you are not the Saviour, you are not to have the glory of their salvation." @dailyspurgeon

“He is the most joyful man who is the most Christly man.” @dailyspurgeon

“Surface joy is to those who live where the Saviour is preached; but the great deeps, the great fathomless deeps of solemn joy which glisten and sparkle with delight, are for such as know the Saviour, obey the anointed one, and have communion with the Lord himself.“ CHS

Such a joy to worship with the saints at @RCBCRichmond and see brother @MattSmethurst in action! May the Lord continue to bless your ministry!

As we look back on the year, we are so thankful for the many ways our Lord blesses our church! Praise God for a sweet time of fellowship at our family retreat and we are so thankful for what the Lord has done in and through NCBC this year.

“He who runs from God in the morning will hardly find Him the rest of the day.” —John Bunyan puritangold.etsy.com/listing/181502…

Our church-wide retreat is just around the corner, and we couldn’t be more excited! Join us in praying for our guest speakers as they prepare, and for every member attending. We pray this weekend would be a blessed time of fellowship and encouragement to our church!
