Welcome

New Community Church began in 1976 when a group of young people from Sidcup came into a new experience of Jesus. They were transformed by this encounter, ruined with a vision for the local church that it shouldn’t be dull and lifeless but a genuinely exciting and relevant community of people led by Christ.

Today, the church is an increasingly diverse community of different ages, nationalities and backgrounds from across S.E. London. We are a church committed to the gospel of Jesus Christ and the work of the Holy Spirit in bringing great praise and Glory to God the Father.

Why Are We Here?

A Church of Word and Spirit

We are committed to the Word of God which is our ultimate authority for life and to the Holy Spirit, His presence and His gifts.

A Community Church

We are committed to being a church that affects the community around us with the gospel and in caring for those in need. We also emphasise commitment to one another, from meeting in each other’s homes to mutual care and support.

A Resource Church

We are committed as part of the Newfrontiers family of churches to equipping, training and sending people to be involved in starting and supporting other churches, both in this nation and around the world.

New Community is part of the Newfrontiers family of churches, with links into many nations in the continents of Asia, Australasia, Africa, Europe (East and West) and North America. We can achieve more together than we can on our own and we love the friendships God has given us around the world. Working together with Newfrontiers seeks to establish strong churches where believers are able to work out God's purposes for their lives and make a difference in society.

New Community is actively involved with churches in many of these nations, but specifically in Romania, South Africa and Zimbabwe. We have sent teams to support these churches in various ways including social action projects amongst the poor.
