New Covenant has quite a mix of worship services. It is a large church with many small groups. And..we don't have a coffee bar yet, but one is coming as we build. Currently have a "coffee table"
Thursday evening 6:30 is The Beach This is a family friendly relaxed worship.

Saturday at 5pm there is a contemporary service. This is pretty much relaxed too. Prior to the service is an interesting class called The Wired Word. Current issues are discussed from a Christian perspective. The class is held in the Chapel. Also Sat at 5pm there is Saturday Children's Church.

Sunday morning Children's church is @ 9:15,

We have a "Blended" service on Sunday mornings @
7:45, 9:00, 10:15, and 11:30

As for Christian Education classes for adults
they are Sundays;
9am Faith Bible Class Epiphany Now and Then in The Chapel

9am ANEW A never Ending Walk Quarterly: Isaiah/Mark Classroom 2

Pathfinder's Class What Does the Lord Require of You Classroom 1
10:15 Same in Classroom 2

10:15 Grace Seekers 1 Gospel according to John. Many people attend this class given by Gary Cantrell. Given in Chapel
You will find it Broadcast on the web site.
11:30 Same class is repeated by Gary in classroom 1
The church is bursting out of its seams and there will be some building going on soon.

We usually stop at SonRise cafe (Near PUblix on 466 for breakfast east morning at 8am and then go to New Coverant's 9am service. We get to church early for a seat. All churches should have this probem

Yes we have Many choir opportunities and a wonderful music director.

The opportunity for service is great. As stated in the mission statement, "We are Jesus Christ's hands and feet in this world" More info on this on the web site.

One of my husbands favorite things is the Wed AM Men's Prayer Breakfast.

There are both men's and women's golf. Also Bridge and Pickleball.
