At New Song we believe that the Gospel isn't good advice or what God expects from us; the Gospel is the Good News of what God has done for us in Jesus.

So every Sunday we gather to hear God's Word proclaimed through Scripture reading and through faithful, biblically-sound and applicable preaching.

Acts: But With God, All Things Are Possible (13:1-3, 13-16, 26-52) In our heart of hearts we all deal with pride and prejudice. This passage shows up there is nothing new under the sun. Without Jesus, we will never change. Speaker: Curate Matthew Usherwood

Acts: How To Be a Gospel-Centred Church (2:42-47) At New Song we talk a lot about being a Gospel-Centred church – but what does that look like in practice?
