About NOVA Church

We are a Christian church in Phoenix, Arizona, welcoming people of all ages and backgrounds. We are passionate about reaching people for Jesus Christ, and everything we do is about Him. We are a dynamic church family that actively reaches out to our community with God’s love as we aim to fulfill God’s plan and purpose for our lives.

Our aim is to make God the center of our lives and our worship is an expression of our gratitude for all that He has done. Our worship is not limited to a specific time or place, and we believe that everything we do is an act of worship – and that our lives should be lived in service to Him.

We strive to live our lives in surrender to Christ, allowing Him to guide us in all that we do. Our hope is that through our words and our actions, we can lead others to experience the same transformative power of Jesus that we have experienced. We invite you to join us as we follow Him and to discover the supernatural love and grace and truth of Jesus Christ.
