New Story Church 3200 Elmwood Avenue, Buffalo, NY 14217

"New Story is an incredibly welcoming church! Sunday messages go beyond the surface level teachings I’ve found elsewhere. This church has a huge focus on how they can serve the community and be the hands and feet of Jesus. I feel very safe dropping my young children off for Sunday Kids’ church. I know the volunteers are safe, trusted individuals and I am confident they treat my children with love and kindness. The children’s leadership team always has a fun lesson planned and I know my kids are absorbing the teachings. There are so many ways to get involved in this church from small groups to serving on the volunteers team. When you walk in, you won’t be “just another face.” You will be welcomed with open arms and happy faces!"

"I started going to New Story after not going to church for a long time and it has been very impactful on my view of a healthy Christ centered church. The messages Pastor Scott give are amazing and grounded in scripture and the worship is incredible!! Through God’s encouragement and the wonderful people I’ve met at New Story, I’ve been inspired to get more involved in my church community through Story groups and serving."
