About us
our storyA church family rooted in Chapel Hill
New Vision Outreach is a small, close-knit, non-denominational church. We’ve been part of this community for a long time, and our doors are open to everyone.
Who we are
People just like you
Look around on a Sunday morning and you’ll find people filled with hopes and fears, joys and sorrows, strengths and weaknesses. The common thread is that we’re all committed to growing stronger and wiser through it all, together.
Our goal is to provide an atmosphere of loving acceptance, where people can grow spiritually through vibrant worship, honest friendships, a caring fellowship, constant prayer and compassionate concern for the world.
What we believe
the good newsSaved by grace, through faith
We’re a non-denominational Christian church. That simply means we aren’t tied to a denomination: our foundation is the Bible and the Good News of Jesus Christ.

Jesus died in our place and rose again, opening the way back to God for anyone who believes.
Romans 5:8

It’s a gift, received by faith.
We are saved by grace through faith, not by our works. Salvation can’t be earned, only received.

New life starts today.
In Christ, the old is gone and the new has come. And you don’t have to walk it alone.
2 Corinthians 5:17
“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast.”
Joshua 20
aCity ofRefuge
In the Old Testament, God set apart cities of refuge: places of safety and mercy, where anyone in trouble could run and find protection.
That’s the kind of church we want to be. As a City of Refuge, we believe the Church should go beyond its walls, meeting real needs, building relationships, and bringing the love of Christ to every corner of our community.
“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.”
