New Community Church of Tacoma

Bo Noonan teaches on the amazing truth that Jesus, fully God for all eternity past, became flesh - fully human - so that humanity could become part of his family for all eternity future. This is the story of Christmas, and God's amazing gift to all of humanity.

Andy Cooley teaches through 2 Timothy 1:8-2:2 in our series Joyful Endurance. In these verses, Andy builds on three points in regards to Paul's encouragement to Timothy concerning the gospel of Jesus: 1) The gospel is true and of extreme and ever-deepening worth. 2) The gospel and our faith in it are entrusted to us by God and need to be guarded. And 3) The gospel needs to be passed on to others. 

Bo Noonan teaches from 2 Timothy 1:6-12, where Paul encourages Timothy to "fan into flame" the Holy Spirit's presence and purposes in his life through diving into the gospel and being with God's people. In Paul's day, and in ours, there is a call to give our lives to SOMETHING. Paul's encouragement to Timothy is to spend his life, not on himself, but on the gospel of Jesus by the power of the Holy...

Bo Noonan teaches from 2 Timothy 1:1-5, where we begin with a story of deep friendship, joy, and generations of faith. Paul then charges Timothy to give himself to a life well-lived, as he follows Paul's example. That said, Paul's definition of a life well-lived flies directly in the face of what culture might expect. Paul's life included difficulty, prison, beatings, rejection, and much lack of p...

Bo Noonan kicks off our new series, Joyful Endurance, which will be a walkthrough of the 2 Timothy - Paul's letter to his faithful apprentice, Timothy. In this overview of the letter, we find out that Timothy is in the city of Ephesus doing his best to equip the church, lead himself, and point people to Jesus. It has been a hard go for Timothy...and for Paul, who is in prison has he writes this le...

Carl Medford teaches about becoming a community who wars, not against other people, but against the things the Bible calls us to war against. The good news is that Jesus has won the ultimate war, allowing us to be brought back into an eternal and loving relationship with our Father. As a result, we now battle against spiritual enemies that would try to hijack that relationship for us and for other...

Bo Noonan teaches on the counter-cultural type of leadership that Jesus calls his followers to. Throughout scripture we see the complimentary roles that Father, Son, and Holy Spirit have played throughout eternity past and into eternity future - they are fully equal in standing, yet they play different roles. It is the same in the church. We are all equal in standing because of the work of Jesus,...

Bo Noonan teaches on the importance of being both a Word and Spirit community. We believe that the Bible is fully true and points us to God's order, way of life, and his love. We also believe that we fully need the empowering presence and the seal of adoption that the Holy Spirit gives us, which allows us to know God intimately as Father. We are a both/and church that is learning to give ourselves...

Bo Noonan teaches about remembering the benefits we have as followers of Jesus - especially the presence of God in healing. As we pray for others and trust God in his work of healing, we see in his word that we should pray with authority, with compassion, and with great faith. May we be a church that believes God, prays for others to be healed, and begins to act on every nudge from the Holy Spirit...

Bo Noonan teaches about being a healthy and healing community, not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually. Being a healthy church means that we must remain in love with Jesus, connected to him as our Source, and continually be receiving from the power and presence of the Holy Spirit. That said, it remains true that many have experienced real hurt in the church in many forms. By God's gra...

Alissa Cooley teaches on the theme of God's faithfulness during the 2024 Women's Retreat: All My Days

Travis Aicklen, from Radiant Church in Visalia, CA, encourages us to be a community that endures. He takes us to the story of Timothy and Paul, and their exchanges in 1 and 2 Timothy. Through these exchanges he helps us see a way to endure and continue on in faithfulness to the call that God has placed on us as a church. As we look to the faithfulness of Jesus over generations and see it in the li...

Bo Noonan teaches through Jesus' model of mission from the story of the "Samaritan Woman at the Well" in John 4. He unpacks a biblical model of mission seen in the acronym B.L.E.S.S. - Begin with prayer / Listen / Eat together / Serve / Share your God story. This model can be lived out in our lives, our families/friend groups, and through our Community Groups.

Andy Cooley teaches about the biblical value of the community of the Church and how that is worked out here at NCC through Community Groups. Community is a central theme in Jesus' teaching and a loving mandate to anyone who is learning to be with him, like him, and do what he does.

Bo Noonan kicks off our new series: Becoming New Community Church by diving into the amazing truth of being "one new man in Christ". The truth about the Church is that we are a miracle! We are the profound work of God doing the impossible through his son Jesus: he has taken separated, dead enemies and made us into fully alive children of God! Because of this, we are not just a gathering of people...

Bo Noonan teaches through the last line in the Lord's prayer: lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. In the Lord's prayer we learn to believe what Jesus believed and to pray as he prayed, and he ends his prayer in a somewhat surprising way. From this ending, we can see that his desire for his people is that we are delivered from Satan and his ways and that we find fulness of life i...

Mark Knutson teaches through the phrase "forgive us our debts as we also forgive our debtors" during our teaching series through the Lord's Prayer.

Andy Cooley teaches through the phrase "give us this day our daily bread" during our teaching series through the Lord's Prayer.

Bo Noonan teaches through the phrase "your kingdom come, your will be done" in our series on the Lord's prayer. In this teaching he focuses on three questions: 1) What is the kingdom? 2) Why ask for the kingdom to come? and 3) How should we pray for the kingdom come?

Willy Verduzco from Origen Church in Guadalajara, Mexico - part of our Confluence family of churches - encourages us as a family of churches to sow the seed of our lives, just as Jesus did, for the joy of many people coming to know Jesus and his love. He encourages us from the book of Isaiah to "enlarge our houses" and to fix our eyes on Jesus and his mission.

Rhys Scott from Trinity Central Church in Vancouver, BC - part of our Confluence family of churches - takes us on a tour of the life of Elijah, helping us see the deep and amazing truth of God's great care for his people. God walked with Elijah in times of triumph, depression, and recommissioning. As individuals, as churches, and as a family, God is doing the same with us. Rhys calls us to be open...

Bo Noonan kicks off Celebration NW 2024 by laying out the biblical vision of how being churches rooted in joy will lead us into the mission of Jesus. Joy is the awareness of the grace of Jesus, and as we see throughout the life of Paul, that awareness of grace brought a contentment that allowed him to endure all things so that many could come to know Jesus.

Sam Poe teaches through the surprising Psalm 110. So many years before the birth of Jesus, we see the plans of Father God for the salvation of his people through the One who would be Prophet, Priest, and King. God's plan for the restoration of relationship and blessing is vast and wonderful, and it continues for us today!

Waymond Hampton teaches through "hallowed be your name" in our series on the Lord's Prayer. He starts with the story of God revealing his name to his people at the Exodus, and paints of picture of how "hallowed be your name" is a call to come under the beautiful authority of "our Father in heaven". Just as Jesus submitted to his Father's will in all things, we are called to submit as well - by not...
