New Story Classics
New Story Classics, formerly Lamplighters, is our ministry for older adults. This ministry provides a monthly hot luncheon and program from 11:00 AM to 1:30 PM on the third Thursday of each month from September to May. We love providing connection and community for retired people in the Phoenixville area. The cost is a suggested donation of $10.00.
This month, Pastor Greg Navitsky joins us to share Ronald Rolheiser’s idea of “giving your death away.” In his book, Rolheiser accompanies you through your final years and the mellowing of your soul, where bitterness gives way to forgiveness, optimism to virtuous hope, and control to surrender. You’ll see Jesus’ model of holy passivity and find in Him the courage to overcome the darkest nights of faith.

Men's Retreat
Life moves fast. Between work, family, responsibilities, and constant distractions, it's easy to lose sight of what matters most.
At New Story, we place a high value on slowing down to allow God to disrupt your busy and distracted life. When we intentionally step away from our routines and the noise of life, we create room to pay attention to what he is up to, in both our own souls and the lives of those around us.
That's why we'd love for you to join us for our annual Men's Retreat, a weekend of fun, friendship, and formation. We'll enjoy great food, plenty of downtime, and all the camp has to offer, including basketball, volleyball, boating, fishing, a game room, and more. Our sessions and small groups will help you connect with one another and grow in your awareness of who you are and who God is.
Whether you're feeling spiritually refreshed or running on empty, this weekend is an opportunity to step away, reconnect with God, and return home renewed.
October 16-18, 2026! REGISTER HERE

Spiritual Formation Cohort
At New Story, we aim to be a church where life transformation is normal. But we believe deep, lasting transformation doesn't happen by trying harder; it happens as we learn to slow down, pay attention to God, and surrender ourselves to his work.
Our Spiritual Formation Cohort is a seven-month journey designed to help you move beyond surface-level Christianity into a deeper experience of life with Jesus. Together we'll explore what shapes our hearts, learn to navigate seasons when God feels distant, and practice rhythms that help us remain rooted in his love and presence.
Through teaching, reading, spiritual practices, and honest community, you'll create space for God to meet you in fresh ways and reshape your life from the inside out.
If you're hungry for a deeper life with Jesus, not just more information, we invite you to apply and interview to join us on this journey.
This cohort is free to participate in, but participants will be asked to acquire their own resources (books, etc.)
Gathering Schedule (6:30-8:30pm): Oct 8 (Orientation), Oct 29, Nov 19, Dec 10 | 2027: Jan 14, Feb 4, Feb 25, Mar 18, Apr 8, Apr 29, May 20

Equip Parenting Class
Our kids are always learning and growing. As their parents, we can learn and grow too. This 8-week class, led by Mark & Kelly Raudenbush, will give you the opportunity to reflect on your parenting practices and learn new ways to connect with and support your children.

The Community Practice
Interested in joining a Life Group? Join us for the Community Practice.
In a lonely, fractured culture, Jesus offers a new kind of family. Despite the unprecedented connectivity of the modern era, genuine community is vanishing. Isolation, transience, and superficiality can sabotage our formation into people of mature love. But through Jesus, we enter a new kind of family that offers intimacy, joy, healing, and commitment.
Over 5 weeks, we'll learn what it looks like to live in the kind of community that is committed to deep life transformation as we...
Build rhythms of intentional connection with others
Create safe spaces in which to share our joys and sorrows
Confess our brokenness and begin healing
Develop committed relationships that grow in mature love
Join us on either Monday nights from 6-8 pm beginning Sept 28 (dinner provided and childcare available).
Alpha
Join us on Monday evenings at 6pm, starting Sept 28. Dinner (+ childcare) will be provided.
Alpha is like a dinner party...followed by group conversation where we explore the big questions of life, spirituality, and faith from a Christian lens...all in a laid-back and non-judgmental environment. Each session features a 25-minute film designed to inspire questions and is led by a host who facilitates the conversation around the session's big question. No question is off-limits. You're free to share and ask as much or as little as you like. If you’re curious, skeptical, or just have questions, bring them to Alpha and explore them with new friends!
Boys Club
Lionhearted Boys Club is a space where 1st-5th grade boys discover and live out their God-given identity through adventure, brotherhood (friendships) and hands-on experiences.

Running on Monday nights from 6-8pm starting Sept 28. Dinner is included.
Girls Club
Girls entering 2nd or 3rd grade or 4th or 5th grade are invited to a fun, engaging bible study small group. Our goals with Girls Club are to build community and friendships, encourage our daughters to go deeper in their walk with Jesus, and anchor our daughters in Biblical truth and in the church as a safe place they can come to with their worries and questions.
Running on Monday nights from 6-8pm starting Sept 28. Dinner is included!
