“A church born in Campos dos Goytacazes?” you might ask. Yes, the Comunidade Cristã Nova União, right here in Rio de Janeiro, traces its roots back to that city. It all began in June 2012, under the leadership of Pastor José Carlos J. de Sá. The vision was clear: to prepare the Bride of Christ for His return. The Comunidade Cristã Nova União believes in the power of God’s word. They see it as the foundation of all creation, a force that can change, sustain, and transform lives. Here, the focus is on revealing God’s word in a fresh and vibrant way. This isn’t just a place of quiet contemplation. The Comunidade Cristã Nova União is a vibrant community, alive with the energy of the Holy Spirit. They embrace the manifestation of spiritual gifts, believing that these gifts are essential for the church to thrive. The Comunidade Cristã Nova União takes the Great Commission seriously. They believe in spreading the Gospel to all corners of the world. They believe in the power of baptism, in the authority of Jesus’ name for liberation, and in using spiritual gifts to build up the community. The Comunidade Cristã Nova União is more than just a Sunday service. It’s about guiding each believer in their daily walk with God and helping them live out their faith in the world. They provide instruction in the scriptures, aiming to create a healthy community where everyone feels included, nourished, and empowered to fulfill their God-given purpose.
