Our greatest days are still ahead.
God has been faithful for over 150 years. We believe the next chapter of New Philadelphia will honor everything He has built — and reach further than we've ever imagined.
"For more than 150 years, each generation has received the torch of faith from those who came before them."
Today, we are honored to carry that torch forward — trusting God to write the next chapter of New Philadelphia's story. Not by leaving behind the ancient path, but by walking it with fresh fire, fresh vision, and a fresh generation.
Where we are pressing forward.
These are the priorities God has laid on our hearts for this next chapter — anchored in Scripture, shaped by our heritage, and stretched toward what only He can do.
Next Generation
Discipling children, youth, and young adults with biblical truth, mentoring, and creative spaces where their gifts are called out early and grown for the Kingdom.
Digital Ministry
Extending the ministry of the Word beyond the sanctuary — live-stream worship, on-demand sermons, digital devotionals, and connection tools that keep the church family close.
Community Outreach
Loving Memphis in tangible ways — food, mercy, mentorship, education, and partnership with neighbors — until the city knows Christ through the works of His people.
Evangelism
Boldly proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ — house to house, block to block, and heart to heart — that many more may be saved.
Discipleship
Grounding believers in the whole counsel of God through Sunday School, mid-week Bible study, small groups, and mentoring relationships that produce mature followers of Christ.
Vision for Memphis
A church rooted in East Memphis, sent to bless the whole city — schools, families, neighborhoods, and the next generation of Memphis leaders.
Do it again, Lord. And do a new thing.
That the God who built this house in the days after Emancipation would build it again in our day — reaching families, restoring homes, discipling the next generation, and shining as a city on a hill in Memphis.
"See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland."Isaiah 43:19
The story continues — and there's a chapter for you.
Whether God is calling you to visit, volunteer, give, or serve — you were not brought here by accident. Come and see what God is doing at New Philadelphia today.
"New Philadelphia is both historic and forward-looking — a church where tradition meets transformation."
