You are Invited to NewCov's Antioch Intern Program Intern Open House

The Intern Houses - 1852 & 1888 E. Nees, After 1st and 2nd Services
Did you know? NewCov is investing into the lives of our young men and woman beyond high school, through the ANTIOCH PROJECT.
According to Acts 11:19-26, the early church begins to reach beyond the walls of Jerusalem and impact the world around them. The city of Antioch becomes the epicenter for training of the disciples into the Way of Christ and the launching ground for missionaries through the world. It is here that the followers of Christ first receive the name of “Christian.”
New Covenant Community Church wants to become the Antioch of the 21st century, raising up young leaders who will take hold of the gospel entrusted to them and carry it throughout the world. We call this the “Antioch Project.” Our vision is to invest into young men and women through an intensive internship so that they may love and lead the lost to Christ.
Learn more about NewCov's exciting new internship program to develop the next generation of Christian leaders and visit our Intern Residences.

GIRLS! SAVE THE DATE! The "Set Apart" Girls Conference is Coming to NewCov
Friday, October 1st from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm
and Saturday, October 2nd from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm
Girls from 5th Grade through adult women and their moms from all over the West Coast are coming to NewCov for this 2-day conference. The conference is featuring Eric and Leslie Ludy, authors of many books, including Authentic Beauty, Set Apart Femininity, & When God Writes Your Love Story.
This is not your typical girl’s conference! It’s an inspiring call to enter the battle for Truth. It is a challenge to die to self, lay everything on the altar before God, and discover His incredible purpose for your life. You will be challenged to let God gently purge anything from your life that is standing in the way of Him receiving full glory in and through your femininity; to exchange the frivolous for the eternal. You will be motivated to leave your comfort zone and pour out their lives for the least and lost around the world.
This conference is for anyone who is ready to leave behind the trivial things of this world and respond to the sacred call God has upon your life – to change this world for the glory of Christ. God’s sacred intent for us goes far beyond adding some Christian morality to our self-indulgent lives. His intent for you and me is nothing short of absolute abandonment to Jesus Christ, entire separation from the pollution of the world, and ardent worship of our King with every breath we take. And that is the message of this unforgettable weekend.
Registration Pricing:
1-9 Tickets – $25.00 per person
10-25 Tickets – $20.00 per person
For special pricing for Mother/Daughters or to register a group larger than 25, please call Denise Kinabrew at 559-994-6439.
