At New Song we believe that the Gospel isn't good advice or what God expects from us; the Gospel is the Good News of what God has done for us in Jesus.

So every Sunday we gather to hear God's Word proclaimed through Scripture reading and through faithful, biblically-sound and applicable preaching.

Check out our sermon podcast (search "New Song Port Perry" wherever fine podcasts are downloaded) and listen to some of our latest sermons on our YouTube Channel.
