Lively Worship
We believe in a passionate, lively worship style that encourages emotion without emotionalism. We use a video projector to display the words of our songs, so you are free to clap your hands, lift them in praise, or worship quietly before the Lord. The emphasis is on each person’s freedom to worship as they desire, tempered with decency and order.
Our worship team consists of:
A worship leader
Backup singers
A keyboard player
A drummer
Electric guitarist and/or bass
Acoustic guitarist

At NCC, we love fellowship. Getting together with other Christians is a great joy and we try to provide many opportunities to do so. Dinners, outings, men's and women's meetings, youth gatherings, or just enjoying coffee and a snack with someone after the church service. Fellowship is encouraged. It is more than socializing, though. Fellowship comes from the Greek word koinonia, which means: to participate with one another, to be social, to help with each other's needs, and to communicate together. We value Christian fellowship.

Jesus taught us to tell others about what we have seen and heard. The gospel of Christ is the good news of salvation. Members of New Covenant Church are encouraged to share what they know about the Lord. Sharing your faith doesn't have to be complicated.

Now about spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not want you to be ignorant... 1 Corinthians 12:1

We have different gifts, according to the grace given us... Romans 12:6a

We are a Charismatic church. We believe in the present day function of the gifts of the Holy Spirit in the church. We teach about the proper, orderly use of spiritual gifts in the worship service and in the world around us. Many miracles and "signs and wonders" have taken place in the lives of our members. We eagerly accept prayer requests for the sick, hurting, lost, etc. God cares about people; the spiritual gifts He gives to the church are for their benefit.

Decency and order
The Apostle Paul taught us that God is a God of order, not confusion. The church service should not be a "free for all". We believe that members of the body of Christ must follow the law of love and consider others before themselves. This is the first rule of order. At NCC we make every attempt to provide an atmosphere of liberty in the use of the gifts of the Spirit while still maintaining order. We want everyone to feel the freedom to "step out" in their gift without feeling like they'll be rebuked if they make a mistake. We are all learning, from the pastors to the newest person in the church. The church is a place were we can all grow. We are family!

Though we are an autonomous, non-denominational church, we do believe in accountability. Our eldership are members of Ministers Fellowship International. MFI is a growing group of church leaders and churches (over 600) who gather twice annually for teaching, fellowship, prayer and worship. New Covenant Church is also "connected" through relationship with New Testament Church of Massena. Neither MFI nor New Testament Church hold any ruling authority over our church. They do, however, provide invaluable counsel and resources to help us stay in the center of God's will for our fellowship. We are not standing alone!
