Our Story

New Covenant Fellowship was formed and met for the first time together on April 1, 2001, in a store front building in Southern Pines. The fellowship met there under the direction and leadership of Glen Stancik. Under Rev. Stancik's leadership the churches constitution and government were formed. This was a sweet time of planting a new ministry in Southern Pines. After 4 years the ministry was growing slowly and the fellowship felt that it was time to branch out and branch out, we did.

NCF found 10 acres of land in rural northeastern Moore county near Union Pines High School and New Century Middle School in Carthage NC. This location is approximately 5 miles from 4 local communities, Vass, Cameron, Whispering Pines and Carthage. This location is also about 25 miles from the previous NCF location in Southern Pines. Some of those who were there on the day we moved from the store front into our brand-new Dome Building say that we looked like Jed Clampant and his crew from the Beverly Hillbillies coming up US 1 with our trucks and trailers full of things to go into our brand new worship center. Good memories indeed! NCF met for the first time in the Dome on Labor Day weekend 2005. This was an appropriate day to meet as the congregation had just put their hand to the good work of building our new worship facility ourselves. It was truly a labor of love.

On the first Sunday of March 2011, NCF moved into our second building on our campus named the Gathering Place. This metal structure served as our sanctuary due to our continued growth while in this location. Once again, the faith family here at NCF built the Gathering Place with our own hands and we are truly blessed to have some new room to grow the kingdom of God in rural Moore County. God has been with NCF through our relatively short past and in the two church plants that He led us to make. One in Southern Pines and then four short years later 25 miles away in Carthage. We have found our home here now. We have stood firm on His word and have so far allowed Him to lead our fellowship.

Due to continued growth NCF moved forward with a third sanctuary on campus which opened in early 2022. The new sanctuary addition can accommodate 750 people. The previous sanctuary was remodeled into 6 spacious rooms for our children’s ministry, a large room for our ATF Youth Group and a large multipurpose room. Like the previous sanctuaries NCF attendees played a large role in completing this project.

Also, the NCF campus has expanded due to our paraministries Little Promises Preschool & Fellowship Christian Academy. On the NCF campus is a school and gymnasium to provide learning facilities for our K – 8th grade school.
