In March, 2022, GVF merged with Calvary Bible Church and moved to their location at 110 Valley Park Road. In January, 2023, GVF changed its name to New Story Church.

Worship is amazing and the atmosphere helps me get into the mindset and presence of God. I love that we sing contemporary meaningful songs that help me worship God and focus on Him and His power in my life. The kids program is excellent. My kids look forward each and every week to seeing their friends and learning more about God in the Bible. This church has a very strong children's program which has helped grow our family.

I will preface this review by saying I hope it doesn't sound too critical because it was overall a…read morepositive worship experience. We attended this church by an invitation of our family members who are regular attendees. Initial impression of atmosphere was pleasant enough, but I felt they were not particularly visitor-friendly since no one spoke to us (in their defense, we were sort of rushing to proceed to find our seats and sit down as the service was already in progress at 10:30 when we arrived). Since this church celebrates Eucharist weekly (well about that, there was no words of institution to speak of, so I felt they were just going through the motion), there were communion elements in plastic containers made available on a table at the entrance to the sanctuary for you to pick them up without any words of explanation--again I thought it was not too visitor-friendly. Good contemporary praise & worship music selections. Service is well-organized and gives an impression of well-polished/rehearsed appearance. Nothing sloppy about this worship service from the beginning to the end--excellent. A children's pastor got up and proceeded to speak quite at length on why only child dedication was permitted and not baptism. I felt very awkward and alienated since we come from a church tradition where children are baptized as infants as our two children are. I didn't understand why they had to go out of their way to alienate a group of believers when the Bible does not explicitly prohibit infant baptism and suggests such practice occurred when the entire household of faith was baptized in to the fellowship of believers. Anyway... I thought pastor's preaching was to the point, and he delivered a very good message on fasting (though I had a question about his illustration of personal experience he used to make the main point). At the conclusion of the service we helped to put away chairs as it was the last service (second) of the day and left. I'd say it was a better than average experience overall. I hope they will make more efforts to better welcome visitors...

I was disappointed to see a negative post because VFB was not able/willing to provide Uber-like services to a Philadelphia Hospital for someone who never took the time to come to a service or reach out in any other way to get to know the mission, message or purpose of this local church which helps SO many non-members from its community. If you're looking for perfection or a solution to your problems, look to Christ first. If you're looking to serve and grow as a person, family, etc. visit VFB. It might be just where God wants YOU!
