Classes Offered:
4:30 pm:
Nicene Creed: Pastor Jay and guest teacher Kyler Kanady will lead an 8-week study of the Nicene Creed—one of the central confessions of the historic Church. Together, we’ll explore what the Creed teaches about the identity and work of the one God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

The Seven Principles of Making Marriage Work: Pastor Jay will lead this class through key concepts from Dr. John Gottman’s bestselling book that offers practical, proven insight into everyday challenges couples face—and tools that help marriages not just survive, but flourish.

Whether you’re just getting started or need a refresher, this class offers practical guidance for every stage of life.
Celebration of Discipline: Suzan Benson will lead this class as a natural next step following our fall Renovation of the Heart journey. Together, we asked the question, Who am I becoming? This class continues that invitation by helping participants learn and practice spiritual disciplines that shape a Christ-centered life.
Revelation Bible Study: BEGINS JAN 28
This study is a continuation of last fall’s Revelation Bible Study and will pick up where we left off. If you’ve been part of the journey—or want to jump in as we continue exploring this powerful book—you’re invited to join us.Other adult options include the Healing Hearts Grief Group at 4:30 pm and options at 6:30pm including a Family Group called the Bible Explorers, His Hands Group that meets for prayer, the NC Choir, and meeting with your D-Group.

Bible Blast
January 14
Bible Blast is a weekly, parent-driven, discipleship program that helps kids build a strong foundation of faith through Scripture reading, Bible memory, and hands-on learning. Families participate through short at-home readings, while weekly gatherings provide space for discussion, activities, and encouragement. Our desire is for every child to not only know the Bible, but truly love it and live it out.
Bible Blast includes:
• Engaging lessons and activities
• Scripture memory and challenges
• Simple weekly readings for home
• A supportive community of leaders and friends
Spring Semester Bible Blast begins on Wednesday, January 14, and runs through March 12. We will gather together on Wednesday evenings at 6:00 pm every week that we meet in person. Midweek dinner is served starting at 5:30 pm in the Activity Center, so grab something to eat and meet us in Room 102! Contact Mallary Malwick with any questions or to get signed up, malpal14@aol.com.
Men’s Bible Study
January 15
God has created men to have incredible strength. But today’s culture has hijacked masculinity, distorting strength into passivity and abuse. In this 5-part video Bible study series, pastor Joby Martin invites men to embrace God’s definition of masculinity and to step into His calling upon their lives to wield their strength on behalf of others. God has designed men to be protectors, providers, and defenders. When men act like men, everyone flourishes.
Please make plans to join us for this Bible Study on Thursday mornings, at 6:30 am in the Fireside Room. We'll have hot coffee and donuts ready for you!
Baptism & New Member Sundays
January 18 & 25
This month we have opportunities to be baptized and to join the church family! On Sunday, January 18th we will be baptizing a child during the 11am service, so if you or your child has not yet been baptized and are interested in making that declaration of new life in front of the church let Abbi know by Wednesday, January 14th!
If you have been visiting New Covenant Church, or been attending for a while and are considering membership, we will be receiving new members on Sunday, January 25, at the 8:30 am and 11:00 am services.

Starting Point
February 1
Are you new to New Covenant? Maybe you’ve been coming for a while, but only attend worship. Maybe you are in a group, but don’t feel like you understand much about this New Covenant family yet.
Starting Point is for you! We will spend four Sundays together from 9:45-10:40am in Room 103 learning about who we are and focus on each step of our Discipleship Pathway! On the fourth Sunday we will have breakfast and fellowship together. We will begin this class on Sunday, February 1, and meet through February 22. For more details contact Abbi Blair at ablair@newcov.tv or 405-562-3212.
Chili Cook-Off
February 1
Our New Cov favorite, the annual Chili Cook-Off, is coming up on Sunday, February 1, starting at 5:00 pm. It's always a great event in which we come together as a church family and have a friendly competition to determine the “Best Chili Makers” in our church.
This year we are raising funds for Mission 143, a ministry based out of New Covenant that exists to serve those suffering from homelessness and those at risk for becoming unhoused.
If you aren't competing, make sure to bring some money to vote on your favorite chili. Also, people with last names that begin with A-L bring desserts and M-Z bring fixin's (Fixins=crackers, cheese, Fritos, cornbread, onions, etc.) .
You can sign up to bring chili as an individual or sign up with your family group or some friends to compete as a group!
