Get involved in making a difference

New Creation offers a wide variety of opportunities to get involved and make a difference in our ministries, our community, and our world. Our ministry and missions teams are active in changing the lives of individuals and communities, and helping others find a sense of purpose. At New Creation, we live out Acts 1:8 by reaching, connecting, forming, and sending Christians to be witnesses to Jesus Christ everywhere.

Donate to Support Our Missions

Sometimes, our mission teams need specific materials donated in order to complete their work. Monetary donations allow us to send more people on mission teams, and to purchase materials in bulk. You can use our Give page to donate directly to the Mission Fund, or check out any of our missions to see if there are any specific material needs.
