What is “church”?

    It’s hard to know these days, isn’t it? These days, some churches are known more for who they want to keep out rather than who they want to let in. Others seem to be so fixated on political or cultural issues that they seem to forget what Jesus said about how we are to be with and treat each other. We try to be different at New Hanover.

    At New Hanover, we believe that God is pro-people! When the Bible said that “God so loved the world he gave his only Son” we think that means what is around us is worth loving, caring about, working for, and cherishing too. We love people and this creation because God does too!

    That means that we care for people, whether they are here in Hanover County, in the greater Richmond area, in disaster zones here in the US or in extreme need in Haiti, Pakistan, and Ukraine. New Hanover Presbyterian Church worships and glorifies God and then tries to do what God would have us do as well – love the world right along with God.

    Sound like the place for you? We hope so. We would love to have you join us as we offer our worship to God, our love to one another and a compassionate, helping heart to the world and those in it. God loves them all… so do we.

    See you on Sundays at 9:30 a.m.

    Best,
    Robert
