We thank and praise the Lord for the new members joining from many nations, serving and learning in the love of God, ever since the beginning of our new journey as Newport International Church with Pastor Gi-Jung Song in July 2021.
Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
Matthew 28:18-20
Though we come from diverse backgrounds and cultures, we are united as one body in Christ, reflecting His love to the world.
God's love transcends all boundaries—cultural, linguistic, and national—bringing us together in true fellowship.
Together, we fulfill the Great Commission, making disciples of all nations and sharing the Gospel worldwide.
No matter where you're from, you are welcome at Newport International Church. Experience the beauty of worshiping with believers from around the world.
