Helps & Outreach Ministry Descriptions

Circles of Prayer & Care (CPC)
Circles of Prayer & Care (CPC) are small groups that meet weekly for prayer via conference call. CPC provides a strong prayer foundation for New Covenant Church. The purpose of Circles of Prayer & Care is to offer consistent prayer covering for the ministry and to foster connection among members of New Covenant Church—"Endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace” (Ephesians 4:3).
CPC groups care for NCC members as well as those who regularly attend New Covenant Church. Our goal is for every NCC member to be part of a Circle of Prayer & Care.
Leaders:
Gaylan & JoCarol Owens, Dennis & Joycell Ingram, Stacy Williams
Ushers, Greeters, & Guest Services
The purpose of Ushers, Greeters & Guest Services is to promote friendliness and courtesy toward members and guests of New Covenant Church. Ushers also provide security oversight and attend to special needs. With smiles and servant hearts, Ushers and Greeters ensure that each person feels valued and welcomed into God’s house. They help cultivate an atmosphere of peace, expectation, and honor for God’s presence.

Men of Valor
Men of Valor is a ministry dedicated to encouraging and building up men who lead with integrity, strength, and spiritual conviction. God called Gideon a "man of valor" when he was at a low point in his life, and then built him up (Judges 6:12). Likewise, we view men and boys from God’s faith-filled perspective.
Through fellowship, discipleship, and service, this ministry empowers men to serve as leaders in their homes, church, and community. Men of Valor fosters brotherhood, accountability, and encouragement—discipling boys and young men, and helping each man grow in faith and purpose as a vital part of the body of Christ.
Men of Valor meets monthly in person.
Leader: Pastor Bryan Hudson

The Covenant Café is a space for fellowship and refreshments, enjoyed by New Covenant Church members and guests. Beverages and light food items are served. We often invite young people to help manage and serve others in the café.
Praise & Worship Team
The Praise & Worship Team leads the congregation in Spirit-led worship that glorifies God and prepares hearts to receive His Word. This team ushers the congregation into God’s presence and seeks to create an atmosphere that fosters a deeper connection between people and God.
Leader: Min. Shawn Carter
Children's Ministry
The Children’s Ministry supports the vision of New Covenant Church by teaching the Word of God to children at their developmental level. In partnership with parents and caregivers, our goal is for children to receive Jesus Christ as Savior and live overcoming, victorious, Spirit-filled lives. Through interactive lessons, worship, and age-appropriate activities, children are nurtured in their spiritual growth and encouraged to use their gifts. This ministry lays the foundation for lifelong faith, honoring Jesus’ call to “let the little children come to me” (Matthew 19:14).
Leader: Patricia Jones

The Health & Wellness Ministry at New Covenant Church fosters a holistic approach to wellness —spirit, mind, and body—within our congregation and the broader community. Through educational programs, training, resources, podcasts, events, and advocacy, this ministry empowers individuals to make informed health decisions and embrace lifestyles that honor God.

Juvenile Justice Outreach
For more than 25 years, New Covenant Church has ministered to youth detained at the Marion County Juvenile Detention Center (now called Juvenile Services) while their cases are pending. In some instances, youth may also be ordered to remain in the detention center for a period of time after disposition. The goal is to prevent youth from entering the adult jail system. Our Juvenile Justice Outreach team ministers to young men and women, leading them away from a future in crime and toward a life in Christ.
Leaders: Joycell Ingram
Wheeler Mission Ministries Outreach
For more than 30 years, New Covenant Church has ministered to men at the Wheeler Mission Ministries men’s shelter. This outreach ministry was founded by Horace and Gaynell Hudson. After the passing of Gaynell Hudson, Elder Hudson continued to teach, sing, and minister to the men, with support from Pastor Hudson. When Elder Hudson was no longer able to continue in that role, Pastor Hudson began leading the chapel services, supported by Elder Hudson. Every month, many men give their lives to Christ, and all are encouraged through the Bible study.
