Our Ministries
As our congregation continues to get established and grow, so do our ministry offerings. Take a look below to see some of our growing ministry offereings and see how you can get involved.
Children's Ministry
We offer Children's Sunday School during our Sunday Church Gatherings lead by wonderful teams of volunteers each week. The ministry time follows our time of sung worship and praise together. Children from Pre-School through Primary School ages will enjoy age appropriate, hands on, and fun Biblical lessons with a variety of activities that they can discuss with their families during the week. To learn more, take a look at our Children's Ministry page.

Youth Ministry
We do have plans for Youth Ministry offerings as our church family grows. We are praying for ministry leaders and volunteers who have a calling from God to serve the youth of the church and Shrewsbury, especially as we do an increasing number of youth in the church.
Young Adult's Ministry
Beginning in 2024, we have begun a variety of monthly events for and by young adults 18ish to 29 years old (as well as a few old-people volunteers). Our desire it to help grow the faith in Jesus Christ of young adults, share faith in Christ with young adults, and equip young adults to be the next generation of leaders in the church; all while having fun and getting to know more people in your stage of life who are also wanting to learn more about what it means to follow Christ. Check the events on our Home Page for upcoming events and be sure to register because there is always food unless it runs out!

This is a collaborative ministry between New Nation Church, Shrewsbury and Shrewsbury Baptist Church.
Marriage Preparation
Ministers Todd & Ruth Cataldo are happy to help couples looking to get married prepare for a Godly, loving marriage. We have some great resources to help couples prepare for this life changing step in their relationship.
Men's Ministry
The men of the church get together for a Men's breakfast one Saturday each month at 10AM. This year we are rotating among the homes of different men of the church, so be sure to check the event listings on our Home Page. Along with breakfast, we have a short devotional, discussion, prayer, and time to get to know eachother better. Be sure to register for the event on the main page so that we cater for the right number.
Women's Ministry
The women of the church have had a good number of get togethers already, including attending The Orchard Women's Conference as a group, pottery painting at Spat-n-Splodge, and enjoying a curry out together. There's always plenty of conversation and growt when we get together as a church family.
Retirement Home Ministry
On the last Tuesdays monthly we hold a Communion Service for Withywood residents at 11AM and Hazeldine Court Retirement Community residents at 3PM. In addition to sharing Communion together, this is an opportunity for residents there to pray together and afterwards enjoy a tea or coffee and biscuits, and have time to chat with eachother and volunteers from the church.
​
Our ministers can also arrange for Communion at home for those who are house bound.
Small Groups
We have several small groups going and more to come in the future as our church family continues to grow. Check the events on our front page to see what is coming up. Tuesday & Wednesday Evening House Groups, Thurday Evening Seed Study (a Bible study - currently in the Letter to the Hebrews), and previous groups in Freedom in Christ, Alpha, Youth Alpha, Genesis, Romans and more.
Prayer Ministry
Our prayer ministry takes many forms and is regularly growing. Of course we have an active prayer time in our Sunday church gatherings, but we also have a very active and effective Prayer WhatsApp group, and strongly encourage all of our church family to be part of prayer triplet that can meet once a month, twice a month or every week depending on the best days and times for those in each triplet. We are also beginning to have a weekly prayer meeting on Saturdays. The times for our Saturday prayer meetings can vary because we link it with a monthly evangelism in the town centre with Ignite Ministries, and also to follow our monthly Men's Breakfast. Praying together in an essential part of the life of the church!
