Welcome to New Covenant Family Church's Exciting Online Experience

We hope you find your time spent here on our website a blessing. Please browse through the various areas to learn about this exciting congregation. We invite you to join us, expecting to CONNECT, ENGAGE and EXPERIENCE OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN as we continue with our mission to carry-out our Savior last commandment found in Matthew 28:18-20 KJV, and go and SEEK the unchurched amongst us; introducing them to SALVATION through Christ our Savior and baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. To expose all who enter our doors to the TRUTH through effective teaching of God’s Word. To SERVE the homeless, the poor, orphans, widows and strangers amongst us and make them disciples for Christ and then SEND these very men and women into all nations, with their primary purpose being that of making disciples of all men!

New Covenant Family Church is a Bible-based, Christ centered, Holy Ghost inspired, family-friendly, multi-cultural, grace-based assembly of believers, that warmly embraces everyone, especially the most hurting and broken amongst us. As a matter of fact, our mission is especially geared toward the unchurched. You don't have to be "religious" or a "church-goer" to be a full part of our church community. With that said, we are a family church that believes that "Families That Pray And Worship Together-Will Stay Together".

If you are new to this area and would like to become a part of this holy assembly, the best first step for you, is to attend our Sunday Morning Worship Service at 11:15 AM in our church sanctuary or our mid-week Thursday evening Bible Study, held in our sanctuary at 6:30 PM. Our Thursday evening Bible Study service consist of the unadulterated teaching of God’s Word, done without compromise. At each of these services, you’ll be warmly greeted and given a bulletin, with a brief description of the day’s worship or Bible Study service, along with a list of upcoming activities at New Covenant.

Our Sunday worship service always begins with effectual prayer, uplifting, irresistible praise and worship music from a variety of Christian sources, followed by an inspirational, faith-building, Bible-based message. Although worship will be over around 12:30noon, we encourage you to hang around with your new friends afterwards. We have open holy communion (The Lord’s Supper) on first Sundays of each month.

Here at New Covenant Family Church, we also believe prayer is very important for our church and that is why every morning, beginning at 6:00AM, we gather together for our online "Morning Glory" prayer service. Saints from around the nation call in to our "FREE" prayer line, where we specifically take time to pray for one another, the church, the world we live in, our nation and its leaders. If you need prayer for any type of physical, mental, or spiritual healing, we urge you to join us for prayer by calling (267) 807-9605 and when prompted input the access code 768149#.

Finally, be sure to check our calendar page for upcoming events. Please let us know if you have any questions. We would love to answer them.

Mission

The purpose of NCFC’s Health and Wellness ministry is to support the vision and ministry of the church through health education, prevention and awareness. As families come together around the Word of God, it is also the role of the church to make sure that families stay united. The health and wellness ministry would unite families in a ministry of the body as well as the spirit.

Hope and healing are essential in the life of faith. Hope is what keeps us going everyday. Hope is also the focus of our physical wellbeing. Whether we are blessed with good health or illness, hope performs a major role in our existence. Hope can be expressed as a desire for healing. God's will is for everyone to be of good health. This affords everyone with the opportunity to serve Him and to service humanity. God's grace and mercy provides us with blessings and it is the faith that God suffers with us that unites families in times of healing.

General Information and Programs

Every year we have three major food drives - Thanksgiving, Winter Holiday and Earth Day (April). This is a great time to donate items. These food drives are done in partnership with the Covenant Christian Children’s Homes of Texas, and The Ekklesia Worldwide Communion and Missionary Societies.

Helping Hands Food Pantry Free Market

We have been blessed to receive regular weekly donations from the San Antonio Food Bank and The Daily Bread Ministries. Those donations, combined with other food rescue operations and donations, provide food to keep our shelves reasonably well stocked.

With that said, every Tuesday, we will have fresh food available for distribution from 10:00AM-12:00Noon, and we will have fresh food that needs to be distributed available on a first come, first serve basis.

Food Rescue Programs

The Helping Hands Food pantry is active in taking part in the Food Bank of San Antonio Retail Food Rescue programs. Food Rescue (Aka Food Recovery) Food rescue, is the "practice of safely retrieving edible food that would otherwise go to waste, and distributing it to those in need. The recovered food is edible, but often not saleable. Products that are at or past their "sell by" dates or are imperfect in any way – a bruised apple or day-old bread – are donated by grocery stores, food vendors, restaurants, and farmers markets. Other times, the food is unblemished, but restaurants may have made or ordered too much, or may have edible pieces of food (such as scraps of fish or meat) that are byproducts of process of preparing foods to cook and serve. In addition, food manufacturers may donate product that marginally fails quality control or that has become short-dated."

The Helping Hands Food pantry is proud to be expanding our food rescue operations, and is very grateful to the following local businesses for their generosity in Helping Hands Food Pantry "feed the hungry and clothing the naked."
