Visit for Sunday Worship9:00am Shared Stories, Rival Tellings
10:00am Worship 11:00am Refreshments |
Our community gathers for worship on Sunday mornings at 10am both in the Sanctuary, a beautiful space dating back to 1888, and in a smaller space we call the Chapel. We gather to sing, to pray, and to listen.
Our service , which lasts one hour, appeals to those looking for a forward thinking and inclusive worship experience that draws on music and liturgy, old and new. We share the bread and the cup of Communion on the first Sunday of each month with an open table (meaning anyone who wants to share the bread and the cup are invited to do so). |

10:15am God's Story, Our Stories
During part of the worship service (10:15-11am), kids are invited explore stories of the Bible and their own place in God’s unfolding story. 10am to 12:30pm Sprouts This nurturing and professionally-staffed space invites our youngest friends (0-5yrs) to Biblical storytelling, art and play. Parents of Kids Parents of Kids meet following worship on the second Sunday of every month to share a meal and connect. |
We're working together to create a community
where kids are free to be kids, to develop as the spiritual beings they are, to come to know themselves as loved by God. We are learning Bible stories and the way of Jesus, creating spaces to hear kids’ stories, and celebrating it all in art, music, poetry, and drama. |
Groups and Gatherings
"If you want your dream to be/Build it slow and surely/Small beginnings greater ends/Heartfelt work grows purely." "St. Damiano" by Donovan.
Life happens best in smaller groups. On Sunday morning, we gather as a large group for what we call "worship". At other times, we gather in smaller groups; sometimes three sometimes thirty. We are seeking to slowly build a community of affinity based smaller groups. These groups will share size (be small enough to meet in a home, though they may meet in other places) and share passion to "create the world that ought to be". Some groups meet on an ongoing basis, some for a defined period or around a specific project or initiative. If you have a group you would like to check out or start, email john[at]fbcnewton.org
Most groups gather at least once a month around areas of affinity and interest in homes and at the church building.
