Our story
His Presence Newcastle began with a simple conviction: that the North East would be transformed when ordinary people encounter an extraordinary God.
Our heart
Encounter, belong, become
We believe everyone is on a journey. Whether you're exploring faith for the first time or have walked with Jesus for decades, there's room for you here.
From our first gathering in a living room to the community we are today, one thing has never changed — our hunger for the presence of God and our love for people. We gather to worship, we scatter to serve, and together we're learning what it means to live like Jesus in our everyday lives.
What we value
The things that shape us
Presence
Everything flows from intimacy with God. We make space to encounter Him together.

We live with open hands, giving our time, gifts and resources to bless others.

We exist for our city — sharing the hope of Jesus in word and practical love.
