Over our time there, repeated interactions with staff and leadership left us feeling deeply hurt…read moreand unsupported. What impacted my family most wasn't any single exchange, but a pattern of leadership that consistently met concern with dismissal and a noticeable lack of empathy. Pastor Grant remains, to this day, unwilling to engage with my family as we are still navigating the aftermath of an abusive situation that occurred within the building itself. Pastor Scott, frankly, is his own case study- someone who seems to treat criticism of systemic sexism not as an invitation to reflect, but as something to personify in real time. Pastor Doug, despite serving as the pastoral care pastor, consistently left us feeling more alienated rather than supported. In the role specifically meant to provide care, safety, and discretion, the experience instead felt guided or influenced by other leadership voices in a way that raised serious concerns for us about independent pastoral judgment. We also experienced what we believe were multiple breaches of confidentiality, which deeply damaged any remaining sense of trust. And when it came to how the original situation was ultimately rationalized, we were left with the message that it was simply "boys will be boys"- a framing that felt dismissive of the harm we experienced and deeply minimizing of what had occurred. No church is perfect, but it should also not be a place where people leave feeling further harmed for naming hurt or seeking care.

I had been going to a lot of churches in the area and would always drive past here. One Sunday I…read moredecided to come here and I have to say I felt the most welcomed here at Liberty Live. When I first came, they had a front parking for first time visitors which seemed very thoughtful. They had a welcome counter for the first time arrivals that provided me with a welcome bag and they explained where everything was located in the church which I greatly appreciated. They also provide free coffee which tasted pretty good. There is plenty of seating for service and I love that they have 9am service and 10:45am service. I love seeing so many people excited to be in church on Sunday and to learn about the Lord. And every sermon always seems pertinent to what I'm going through at that moment.

I love that the pastoral team takes the time to connect and get to know their memebers, and that there is a charge to get members involved.

I attended their Christmas morning service as a guest with a friend, and I was really impacted by…read morethe pastor's message. So timely, and his delivery was very passionate. I noticed myself giving the "thats's right," "amen," and "c'mon now, preach" quite often, accompanied with appropriate head nod and hand clap ;) We missed the beginning part of the praise and worship, but from the closing Christmas song they did, I imagine it's wonderful. Full band with it's own brass session? Always appreciated. And the lead singer's voice was beautiful. The church houses a predominantly black congregation, although the atmosphere is unusually casual. A refreshing deviation from the "Sunday's Best" style accustomed to many of the black and southern churches I've been to in the past. Not that either is better - I just like my jeans and sneakers. The inside of the building mirrors something similar to a cross between a gym and an industrial building. Nothing you would call modern by any means, but definitely large enough to hold a good capacity of people. We sat in the balcony, which was a little bit of a drag because I had difficulty hearing at certain points in the sermon. Adding a few monitors upstairs could be an easy fix for this problem, however. And probably my main suggestion for improvement. All in all, I enjoyed my worship experience at C3 (as they call it). If and when I'm ever back visiting in Hampton for the weekend, I'll be sure to stop in again.

This is apparent in our leadership, our worship expression, our language, and the way we carry ourselves.

Growing up there, I've seen many different views and approaches over the years. Of course, no church is perfect. No people are perfect. But, God's love is. Times can change, and attitudes and thoughts of people and society do as well. But, God's love and people are still the center of this church. In essence, it's a church that reaches out to neighbors and around the world in God's love. From the Lion's Bridge to Phoebus and Old Town Hampton, NCC reaches the Peninsula. I'm grateful for New Covenant.

I was going to join this church because it was like my old church but my old church from home would have never left us homeless! Pastor Guy and some receptionist lady were the ones I dealt with and I couldn't believe that a church that was going to become my families church for good turned us away! They didn't care that me and my kids were gonna be on the street! We even offered to pay it back or work it off and they denied us! I wonder how God would have reacted to them if he was here to see that they were going to leave a mom with kids on the street! I was even willing to have them pay it directly to the motel so they knew where it went! They refused to help us! I understand there are people who screw the churches over but my family were going to join the church! I have changed my religious preference no longer Lutheran!
