About Us

Junction Community Church (JCC) is one of 11 branches of the New Testament Assembly (NTA). The NTA is an international Pentecostal Christian denomination with branches across England, Jamaica, the USA, Canada, Ghana, and India.

Our church family consists of people who are drawn from various ethnic, cultural, religious and social backgrounds. JCC welcomes ALL, values ALL and encourages ALL who come, to have a sense of belonging. As a church we strongly believe that God has a specific purpose and plan for everyone who entrust their life to Him, and that we discover this by committing ourselves to a local church.

Membership is offered to believers who are baptised and are willing to commit themselves to the JCC Partnership Agreement.

Our Mission:

Our mission is to “Build upon the foundation of our Lord, a vibrant and effective community of worshippers, increasingly equipped to meet the challenges of the 21st century”. Our goal is to become the kind of church described in the Bible—a church with relevant teaching, heart-felt worship, genuine friendships, effective prayer, and compassionate care for those in need. In short, we want to become a positive force for change in bringing people to Christ.

Our Vision:

A healthily growing church, maturing spiritually and multiplying through small groups. A church where every single member is valued, equipped and operating according to their gifts. We want to provide a safe place where hurting, vulnerable and disaffected individuals and families come and experience healing and genuine community. A church that is economically strong and more than able to meet the financial demands arising through its Mission and Ministry.

Our Statement of Faith:

The sole basis of our belief is the Bible, which is uniquely God-inspired, without error, and the final authority on all matters on which it bears. As the Bible teaches, there is one God, eternally existing in three persons — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit — each possessing all the attributes of Deity.

God created humans to have fellowship with Him, but they defied God by sinfully going their own way. As a result, we need God’s saving grace to end our alienation from Him. Salvation comes only through God’s saving grace — not human effort — and must be received personally by repentance and faith.

Jesus Christ lived a sinless life on earth and voluntarily paid for our sin by dying on the cross as our substitute. This accomplishes salvation for all who receive grace by trusting in Him alone. He rose from the dead and is the only mediator between us and God. He will return to earth to consummate history.

The Holy Spirit draws sinners to Christ and equips believers for personal growth and service to the church. The church’s role is to glorify God and serve those in need. At the end, everyone will experience bodily resurrection and the judgment. Those forgiven through Christ will enjoy eternal fellowship with God.
