About - New Hanover Church
Who We Are
Welcome to New Hanover Church, a bible-believing non-denominational church located in Wilmington.
We believe that the Bible is God's word and the authority on which we base our faith. Our mission is to study and preach the Bible verse by verse, enabling us to better understand who God is and how His truths apply to our daily lives. We are a contemporary church community with conservative values, inviting all to join us as we support and encourage each other in our journey to grow closer to God.
We believe in the essential doctrines of the Christian Faith, but allow freedom of opinion in non-essential beliefs. Come visit us and experience our friendly and welcoming community as we worship and celebrate the sacrifice of Jesus Christ every Sunday at 10 AM.
What We Believe
We are a non-denominational church that believes the Bible is God’s word and that it is accurate, authoritative, and applicable to our everyday lives. We believe in studying and preaching the Bible verse by verse and that the entire Bible is inspired by God, without error and the authority on which we base our faith.
What We Preach
We teach by expository, verse-by-verse preaching. Preaching through the Bible verse by verse enables us to study all of God’s truths and revelations to better understand who God is and how His truths apply to our daily lives. If we are truly hearing from God through His Word, we must wrestle with even the difficult scripture passages.
What To Expect
We invite you to join us as we live life together, supporting and encouraging one another as we grow closer to God. We are a contemporary church community with conservative values. We believe in the essential doctrines of the Christian Faith but allow freedom of opinion in non-essential beliefs. We believe that we can better know and love God and His desire for us and our lives when we are in a community. We invite you to come and belong with us as we “do life together.”
