A Transformative Experience: My Review of New Creation Church

If you’re seeking an uplifting and grace-filled church, New Creation Church in Singapore is a must-visit. Known for its life-changing teachings, passionate worship, and welcoming atmosphere, it’s a place where faith flourishes. New Creation Church is a non-denominational, Charismatic megachurch that was founded in 1984 by a group of young leaders, including Joseph Prince, Henry Yeo, David Yeow, and Jack Ho.

I wholeheartedly recommend New Creation Church (NCC) as a place of fellowship. For over a decade, I have been deeply blessed by the sermons of Senior Pastor Joseph Prince. My journey with his teachings began in the early 2000s, during my time at Gospel of Christ Ministry in Cameroon, where I fellowshipped. It was there that Dr. Shawn Smith introduced us to Pastor Prince’s revolutionary, grace-centered messages, describing them as divinely inspired.

Curious to learn more, I sought out Pastor Prince’s teachings for myself. Initially, I watched his short broadcasts on GOD TV through our cable network. Over the last seven years, however, I’ve transitioned to watching most of his sermons on YouTube. His messages have profoundly impacted my life, strengthening my faith and understanding of God’s grace.

This ongoing inspiration led me to take a significant step—traveling to Singapore in 2023 to worship at NCC and witness Pastor Prince in person. That journey remains one of the highlights of my life, as I will share in the narrative below.

Who is the Senior Pastor of New Creation Church?

Pastor Joseph Prince is the Senior Pastor of New Creation Church (NCC) in Singapore and a globally renowned preacher, known for his profound teachings on God’s grace. With over three decades of ministry, he has revolutionized the understanding of grace for millions around the world through his sermons, books, and online broadcasts.

His messages focus on the finished work of Jesus Christ, emphasizing that believers are loved, forgiven, and empowered to live victoriously by God’s grace. Pastor Prince’s teachings are deeply rooted in Scripture, offering practical insights that make the Bible relevant to everyday life.

In addition to leading NCC, Pastor Prince is a best-selling author of books such as Destined to Reign and The Power of Right Believing. His work has reached audiences worldwide, with many describing his messages as transformative and life-changing. Pastor Prince’s ministry extends beyond the church, with a global reach through television broadcasts, online platforms, and conferences. His passion for sharing the gospel of grace has made him a prominent voice in the Christian world, inspiring countless believers to deepen their faith and experience the fullness of God’s love.

New Creation Church: Engaging Worship That Inspires

At NCC, worship is dynamic and heartfelt. Modern music blends seamlessly with sermons that touch the soul. The worship team’s incredible talent fills the room with energy, and God’s presence.

Worshiping at New Creation Church was pure joy! I felt free to worship in my own way, often overwhelmed with tears of gratitude. For four Sundays, the vibrant worship filled me with God’s indescribable joy.

The songs were a mix of popular gospel hits and beautiful originals. One song that stayed with me was Face to Face. I can’t recall all the verses, but the chorus is etched in my heart:
“Face to face with You (2x).
Here I stand, in awe and wonder,
In the presence of my King.
Every fear will fade, every tear You wipe away.
I am complete, I am made whole, in Your presence.”

Those words brought peace to my soul. I knelt in thanksgiving, weeping with gratitude for the chance to praise God. The worship setup was incredible! High-quality musical equipment, crystal-clear sound, vibrant lights, and a giant screen with lyrics made every moment electric. Singing, dancing, and even jumping for joy felt natural and amazing. It was easily one of the best worship experiences of my life!

New Creation Church Services and Locations

Mian services are held every Sunday at The Star Performing Arts Centre, (SPAC) owned by NCC, a stunning venue that enhances worship. This Centre in Singapore is an architectural masterpiece and a world-class infrastructure. NCC uses just one part. Located in the vibrant area of Buona Vista, this state-of-the-art facility boasts a 5,000-seat auditorium with excellent acoustics and cutting-edge audio-visual technology. The sleek and modern design provides a welcoming atmosphere, making it an ideal space for large gatherings, conferences, and performances.

The SPAC in Singapore is not just a venue; it’s a complete experience. The building houses several restaurants and shops, making it convenient for visitors to dine and shop before or after events. Here are some reviews from Google.

My Experience at New Creation Church

NCC is massive, with thousands attending every Sunday. To manage the crowd, there are two services at The Star. Pastor Joseph Prince usually preaches during the first service, which is the one to attend if you want to see him live. His sermon is rebroadcast in the second service.

On my first visit, I felt sad because Pastor Prince was on sabbatical. One of the leaders welcomed me, prayed with me, and encouraged me to believe I’d see him. God answered my prayer! On my second Sunday, Pastor Prince unexpectedly showed up. I was so overjoyed I cried! For the rest of my visits, I didn’t see him again, but his trained pastors delivered amazing sermons, and we even watched a pre-recorded message on the big screens.

With time to spare during my vacation, I made the most of my NCC experience. Between services, I spent two hours exploring The Star. The building is gigantic, perfect for window shopping and grabbing a bite. I enjoyed some delicious meals, including a stop at Nando’s—a favorite of mine from Malaysia. If you’re visiting, I highly recommend it!

Where Else Can You Fellowship at NCC?

New Creation Church has a registered congregation of 31,000, with a weekly attendance of 14,700 in 2022. While The Star Performing Arts Centre is the main venue, NCC has expanded to six service locations across Singapore, including concert halls, theaters, and ballrooms.

Since I knew I wouldn’t see Pastor Prince live again, I decided to visit another venue at one of the famous Marina Bay Sands hotels. NCC rents several large halls on the top floor, where services are live-streamed from The Star. The vibe was similar, with a different praise team, fewer instruments, but the same songs and service structure. After the service, congregants gathered in another hall for coffee and fellowship.

I was warmly welcomed by several people, and one lady went out of her way to help me register for the youth conference. The delicious coffee and friendly atmosphere made me feel right at home. Given the thousands of people who visit Marina Bay daily, it’s a great strategic location for one of NCC’s branches!

Details on service times and locations are easy to find on the church’s website and app.

How Am I Involved in NCC?

Since my return, I’ve continued watching Pastor Prince’s sermons on YouTube, even though they’re no longer live. I’ve also subscribed to the daily devotional on his website, where I receive uplifting emails directly from the church’s communication team. I also share these devotionals on my social media platforms daily, as well as some on my blog. My desire is for others to be blessed and encouraged, just as I am every day.

Sometimes, I get sermon excerpts and encouraging words that remind me of God’s love.

One of the best features of the joseph prince app is the Bible study section, which offers tons of videos of Pastor Prince expounding on the Bible. For my 2025 goal to read the entire Bible, I plan to use the app exclusively. As a Gospel Partner, I support the ministry’s efforts to spread the Gospel worldwide in various languages by sharing and donating whenever I can. It’s truly been a blessing to remain connected and involved, even from continents away.

Nurturing Kids and Youth

New Creation Church is committed to raising the next generation in faith. Rock Kidz, the children’s ministry, offers fun activities and age-appropriate Bible lessons. Teenagers connect through Generation Youth (GY), where they grow spiritually and participate in exciting events and mission trips.

I was fortunate to attend one of the youth conferences, and it was an absolute blast! The church is truly intentional about creating a fun, God-centered experience for the young generation. The conference was well-structured and organized—participants had to register online, which I did.

On the day of the event at The Star, the venue was beautifully decorated, and there were so many youths, which really impressed me. The event kicked off with Christian games, dance performances, and a host of other activities. We were treated to free food and drinks, and we even received fans to combat the hot Singapore weather, along with a variety of encouraging items. These activities took place in the lobbies.

The second part of the conference moved into the church auditorium, where we had an energetic praise and worship session. We sang, danced, and celebrated being youthfully alive. Shortly after, the youth pastor delivered a powerful 30- to 40-minute sermon. By the end, several youths chose to give their lives to Christ. It was the perfect way to wrap up my final days in beautiful Singapore!

Build Community with Connect Groups

Small groups, called Connect Groups, are the heart of New Creation Church’s community. These gatherings create a space for members to study the Bible, pray, and support one another. Whether meeting in homes or online, Connect Groups help you forge meaningful relationships while deepening your faith.

I heard about this but didn’t inquire in detail since I knew I would be leaving the country. However, if I were staying longer, I definitely would have joined one.

Making a Difference Through Outreach and Missions

New Creation Church actively reaches out to those in need, both in Singapore and worldwide. Partnering with organizations, the church offers practical help and shares God’s love. Members can join mission trips to bring hope and transformation to communities globally.

I learned about NCC’s global collaborations during the service when Pastor Prince was there. Apparently, he doesn’t just send members to carry out mission activities; he sends his close associate pastors. That Sunday, none of them were in Singapore, and I like to think Pastor Prince came because of me! He took a few minutes to share pictures and videos of the mission activities his pastors were leading in various Asian countries. There are definitely many. You can find more details about these mission works on the church website.

Special Events to Grow and Celebrate

From worship nights to international conferences, New Creation Church hosts events that inspire and equip believers. Renowned speakers and worship leaders create unforgettable experiences. Events like the Grace Revolution Tour are highlights you won’t want to miss.

I’ve seen videos of Pastor Prince ministering at Hillsong conferences in Australia and alongside Joel Osteen in the USA. I’m sure he ministers at many other events as well.

Why Visit New Creation Church?

New Creation Church is a haven of grace, joy, and community. It’s a great place for those starting their faith journey or wanting to grow deeper in God’s love. The focus on grace creates a transformative experience that leaves you refreshed and inspired.

Secondly, I recommend attending the church because it’s a wonderful opportunity to fellowship with other believers. I was pleasantly surprised and encouraged by the practice of taking communion every Sunday. The church provides it for free in small packs, and everyone picks one upon arrival.

The church offers an amazing welcome package to all first-timers, which includes a free book, encouraging leaflets, and resources authored by Pastor Prince himself.
