Questions
Good to know
When and where does Village Church Newcastle meet?
Sundays at 10:30 am at Newcastle Public School, 50 Glass Court, Newcastle, ON L1B 1M5. Coffee is ready by 10:10 am.
What happens at a Sunday service?
We sing, pray, share the Lord’s Supper (communion) and learn together from the Bible. Kids up to Grade 6 head to their own classes after the singing. Afterwards we hang out over a simple lunch, and kids of all ages make use of the gym.
Is there a program for kids?
We love kids! Village Church has a children’s program for ages 4 to 12 and nursery facilities for ages 0 to 4. We aim to help young people discover God’s goodness and kindness, and to grow into all He wants them to become. Our kids ministry is run by volunteers from our church family — parents, grandparents and friends who are trained and screened, and who know the kids by name. It feels less like a program and more like an extended family looking after its youngest. Child protection is a high priority — our policies are available upon request.
What does Village Church believe?
Village Church Newcastle is rooted in the story of God’s redemptive work in our world. We follow Jesus Christ, our saviour, and believe that reconciliation to God, one another and creation is fulfilled only in Him. We take the authority of the Bible very seriously, and find guidance, revelation and comfort there — God’s inspired and infallible message in written form. We hold to the ancient Christian statements of faith, the Nicene Creed and the Apostles’ Creed.
Is Village Church part of a denomination or network?
Village Church Newcastle is a member of Vision Ministries Canada, a network of 140 churches. We also partner with the Radstock Network, Bright Hope for Tomorrow, Selah House and the Clarington East Food Bank.
Can I listen to past sermons?
Yes. Every Sunday message since 2022 is on our Sermons page, searchable by series, speaker and Bible passage, and available as a podcast.
