Evangelical Friends Church (EFC Newport) — Local services in Middletown

Military family here. I can't say enough good things about EFC. If you are heading to Newport or are already a resident, EFC needs to be on your radar. We were members from 2019-2022, and their staff still stays in touch with us!! Pastor is extremely bible focused in his preaching and I have yet to meet someone to rival his Biblical knowledge. Nicki runs children and family ministries with such love and care. She may be the shining unsung hero. The church is filled with so many caring people that truly welcome every family with grace and love, especially those military members. They do a wonderful job of making you feel welcome with their small church feel from day one. I return often to Newport for work, and I never miss a Sunday at EFC.

Their love for our kids was overwhelming and even though we were only there for a year, it was one of the hardest church families to leave! I highly recommend making EFC your church home whether you are there for one year or you are looking for a church that preaches the gospel...

We love EFC! I have to be honest, I was a little nervous as the name kinda scared me, but they are so wonderful and accepting. The NWC is what brought us to Newport and this church truly “gets” military and military life. Their vibrant kids ministry will pour Jesus and truth into your children and teens. Our small group was fantastic and EFC has their hands in just about everything in the community; outreaches, soup kitchens, AHG, you name it! I almost forgot to mention the solid exegetical preaching. Here you will get the meat of the Word, you will grow and be challenged in your walk. We will miss them so much when the Air Force...
