Welcome to Our Church
Our Vision
To experience God’s presence through contemporary worship and relevant preaching. To provide a place where anyone can come and feel at home. To provide opportunities to build relationships. To invest in our future by providing safe and relevant Children’s ministry. And to restore God’s lost sheep and wayward sons and daughters to their Heavenly Father.
About CJ
Upon receiving a call to full time ministry in 1992 CJ Brummett waited on God for twenty years to open the door to fulfill that call. After many life adventures CJ found himself serving in a volunteer position at James River Assembly of God Church in Ozark, MO where he met the love of his life Jennifer. CJ and Jennifer were married August of 2004. As the door to fulltime ministry opened at Newsong Church, Pastor CJ left a seven year career at Walmart Corporate Offices in Bentonville, Arkansas just a few miles from the church.
CJ and Jennifer graduated from Bible College in Springfield, MO, of which they both hold degrees; CJ in Missions (Missionary Ministry) and Jennifer in Bible. Both CJ and Jennifer also come from a rich heritage of ministers and missionaries. CJ has served as an Associate Pastor of a Spanish speaking congregation at an Assembly of God church in Monett. After that time, CJ lived in Honduras, Central America for his Bible college internship. Over the years, CJ has served in many capacities in the church as well as an advisory team member during Pastor Jim and Pastor Roger’s tenure at Newsong Church. Upon graduation from CBC, Jennifer worked at the Assemblies of God Headquarters in the World Missions Department, seeing men and women fulfill their call to missions and serve around the world. Jennifer has traveled to multiple countries for the purpose of missionary work including Ecuador, Venezuela, Thailand, and Cambodia. She enjoys seeing people use their gifts and talents to find fulfillment in Christ! CJ is an engaging communicator with a preaching style that is inspiring, practical, and humorous. As a ministry team, CJ and Jennifer are passionate about relationships and leading people into the presence of God.

OUR VALUES
01
Relational
The Christian life is best lived out relationally; through a personal connection with Christ and through meaningful relationships with others. One of the primary objectives of Newsong Church is to create a community of connectivity where real relationships can be found and fostered.
02
Casual
At Newsong, we believe church should be more like the family room than a fashion show. Its our goal for the t-shirt and jeans to feel as comfortable as the suit and tie. We care about you, not what you wear.
03
Experiential
We embrace the need of theology and foundational truths, but we also rejoice in the reality that church can be so much more than meetings “about God.” By experiential, we mean our gatherings will provide opportunities for us to meet with and experience the presence of God. Our worship times will be engaging, exciting, and intimate. Our style of music is fresh, contemporary, and passionate.
04
Transformational
The most profound aspect of the Christian life is the power of transformation. Jesus can change lives! That is so cool. Our mission is to bring that message of change to Centerton and Northwest Arkansas. Not only do we believe in transformed lives, but we believe in the need of a transformational church. This simply means that the message is sacred but the methods are not. Newsong Church will always employ innovative and creative ways to present the life changing message. We are not out to establish traditions. Our goal is to help transform lives.
05
Practical
We live in a world full of questions and uncertainty. But the good news is, we have a guidebook filled with answers. At Newsong Church you will hear biblical teaching and preaching that will offer practical solutions to life’s challenges. You might say, “If you can’t use it on Monday, then you won’t hear about it on Sunday.”
06
Enjoyable
As a church, our aim is to enjoy faith, enjoy family and friends, and enjoy life together.
