If today's teenagers and all that that entails (FOMO, iPhone-laden-anxiety, digital natives, gender confusion, deconstruction, and rizzed up culture... whatever that means)... if that doesn't scare you away, then this might be the role for you.
If you still believe - even in 2023 - that God is still up to something great in the next generation and you want to be a part of that, then keep reading...

Culture. You have to “fit” with our team & show an appreciation for the culture of New Story. When you hear our values, something in you should say: “Yes!” Please check out our website and this Vision Sermon & ask yourself: Do I believe in what New Story is doing? Could I give my time & energy & creativity to what they are doing? Do I want to go where they are going? If the answer to any of these is “No,” then it’s not a fit.

A Bit About Our “New” Church
Well, hello there! We’re New Story Church. We long to become a church where life transformation is normal. By “life transformation” we mean a Romans-12-radical-inside-out kind of transformation. Here’s a message that unpacks it a bit more. While our church has some history, it is really a new thing. 18 months ago, two churches merged, but it wasn’t as simple as 1+1=2. Since the merger, attendance has nearly doubled. Somehow it was more like 1+1=4. We’ve spent the past year and a half trying to catch up with what God is doing: expanding the sanctuary, launching a building project, adding staff, rebranding as New Story, and beginning to take our first steps towards becoming a church where life transformation is normal.
A Bit About Our Quirky Community
While more than ½ our people come from outside of the borough, Phoenixville is home. Phoenixville a young, growing, bustling, artsy, quirky borough on the outskirts of Philly, and we love it. It’s known for murals, tattoo parlors, live music, craft breweries – a few years ago we broke into the top 10 in the nation – & seriously crazy festivals. But, if you are looking for something else, we’re close to everything. We’re right next to Valley Forge and a number of major hiking trails, nature preserves, & places to kayak. In less than an hour, you can be running the Rocky steps at the Philly Art Museum, riding a buggy in Amish country, or singing “Fly Eagles Fly” with 100,000 screaming fans. Within 2 hours, you can be sunbathing on the Jersey shore, skiing in the Poconos, or watching a show on Broadway.
