New Community Church of Tacoma

Dawson Jones invites us to to build intentional “trellises” — daily habits and spiritual disciplines — that help us abide in Jesus and be transformed into his likeness rather than conformed to the world. True change comes not from trying harder but from training through consistent spiritual practices that align our hearts with what we truly want — to be with Jesus, become like him, and do what he...

Bo Noonan calls the church to live as apprentices of Jesus by waging war against the power of money through sacrificial giving. Giving is an act of defiance against the powers of this world, a joyful act of worship that frees us from serving two masters, and worthwhile investment in God’s eternal Kingdom.

Bo Noonan invites us to make room to live as witnesses to Jesus—witness that flows from who we are: a chosen race, a royal priesthood, and a holy nation. We are called to represent God to the world with humility, love, and integrity, even when misunderstood or opposed.

Bo Noonan invites us to make room to put ourselves in places where we can experience moments of encounter with God—like Jacob’s wrestling with God in Genesis 32—that mark and transform us. While long-term growth happens through consistent faithfulness, these divine moments can accelerate change, awaken purpose, and remind us of God's power and presence in personal, unforgettable ways.

Bo Noonan encourages us to make room in our lives to gather regularly and joyfully, both to worship and be formed together. The church is an embassy, an outpost of God's kingdom where believers are stirred to love and perseverance as they display God's glory to the world.

Bo Noonan invites us to walk by the Spirit, not the flesh, and to reject a self-centered approach to life in favor of sharing the work of building a loving, grace-filled church community. Serving others isn’t a burden that limits freedom, but the fruit and expression of a heart set free by Jesus.

Bo invites us to remember that Jesus promised to fill us with his Spirit and to ask, "do we have room in our lives for God's presence—for his power, revelation, and glory?"

Bo Noonan teaches that true spiritual formation happens in intentional, vulnerable community—Jesus didn’t make disciples in isolation but called diverse, imperfect people to follow Him together. As our church grows larger, we must “Connect Small” through Community Groups, which serve as training grounds for kingdom living, healing, and deep transformation as we apprentice under Jesus with others.

Bo Noonan introduces a new series, Under Construction. We are under construction as we make room for more people to encounter Jesus in community and be transformed by the Holy Spirit. And we are under construction as we apprentice to Jesus in every aspect of our life.

Andy Cooley preaches through the final story of the book of Judges, where we see the outcome of unbridled selfishness and sin: depravity, death, and civil war. We are reminded of Jesus our king fighting for us—he brings unmerited grace and salvation when all hope seems lost.

Judges 17 and 18 begin to tell the story of what happens when “everyone does what is right in their own eyes:” individuals choose to live in spiritual blindness and rebellion to God. This self-centeredness is the root of idolatry for the people of Godl. Their hope back then (and ours today) lies in the coming of God’s chosen king. 

Bo Noonan teaches on the incredible importance of sound doctrine in the Church.

Jerrod Turner teaches on the need to take more and new ground - and not settle - as we follow Jesus' Great Commission in Matthew 28.

Bo Noonan teaches on the importance of discipleship in the church at Celebration NW 2025.

Abi Sovereign teaches through the second part of the life of Samson, found in Judges 15-16. She ends by sharing how Samson, even with all his flaws and poor decisions, becomes a picture of the true Savior of God's people: Jesus.

Joe Miriello teaches through the first part of the story of Samson in Judges 13 and 14. Here we see that, even in their continued rebellion, God relentlessly pursues his people.

Alastair Moyer teaches through the story of Jephthah as found in Judges 10-12. Here we find a man who was disregarded and hurt as a youth. Later in life he is called by God's people to lead them to victory over their oppressors, yet the un-dealt-with hurt from his youth, as well as his lack of true knowledge of and intimacy with the God of the Bible, leads him to hurt his family and God's people i...

Waymond Hampton teaches through part 3 of the life of Gideon found in the end of Judges 7 through Judges 9. In this story we see God's invitation for Gideon to break generational cycles of sin and Gideons refusal to do so. The extraordinary victory that God's people had over the enemy armies of Midian was not enough for Gideon. He turns from God's ways and wisdom and leads himself, his family, and...

Travis Aicklen teaches on the biblical truth that we were made to experience the pleasures of God in this life as those who are full of joy. According to God's word, we were designed for joy and pleasure, and we can find them in the Triune God of joy - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Wes Swarthout teaches through Judges 7. In this chapter, God significantly reduces Gideon’s army from 32,000 to just 300 men to show that victory comes by his power, and so Israel couldn’t say: “My own hand has saved me.” During the night, Gideon overhears a Midianite soldier talking about a dream about a loaf of barley bread tumbling into their camp and destroying a tent—a prophetic sign interpre...

Joe Miriello teaches through the first part of the story of Gideon in Judges 6. Israel’s repeated cycles of sin and sin’s consequences speak a loud warning to us who are prone to drift away from the Lord. We can also find great comfort and encouragement in God’s faithful mercies and faithfulness. As with Gideon, he can and will use us even when we are filled with fear, doubt, and discouragement.

Alastair Moyer teaches through the story of Deborah in Judges 5. This story demonstrates the rescue of God, who saves his people through unlikely leaders - even despite his people's disobedience. It points us ahead to Jesus, the great (and seemingly unlikely) rescuer and leader of humanity, who brings peace and completion to a disobedient humanity.

Andy Cooley teaches through the stories of Othniel and Ehud in Judges 3. Here we begin to see the spiraling of God's people away from him and his ways, and their lack of consistency in telling the next generation the story of his faithfulness. This leads into story after story of God's pursuit of his people - even when they forget, neglect, and drift away from him. We see in this book that God's a...

Andy Cooley begins our series, Judges: This Great Salvation, by giving an overview and introduction to this graphic, adventurous, and helpful book of the Bible. At the beginning of the story we find God's people entering into the Promised Land and entering into a time of transition and a new generation of leadership. As the book progresses, we are faced with the question: "Will God's people trust...

Wes Swarthout teaches through Jesus' statement that he is the way, the truth, and the life, and that no once can come to God the Father except through him. This exclusive statement is full of grace, because it means that there is indeed a way to God the Father! Jesus makes the incredible statement that he, himself, is the way AND the destination; he is the personal embodiment of truth; and he is t...
