I’m Dom, I’ve lived in Newark for most of my life - and I love this town. I want to see this town prosper in all areas of our lives. The church can’t solve every problem, but I believe it should have a significant part to play in trying. I’d like to be part of an even greater movement of unity and togetherness, across churches, but also across organisations, charities, businesses, emergency services, and other establishments. We started Assemble Church to serve Newark and the surrounding areas; to see people find home and hope; to show Newark the incredible Good News of the gospel message; and to give everyone the opportunity to accept or reject the message of Jesus. I have absolutely no idea what I’m doing, but there is an awesome team at Assemble Church, and as long as we keep our ears pointed to heaven, and our eyes fixed on Jesus, we can’t go too far wrong. I’m excited.
I have a connection to this town that stretches back generations - in fact members of the last 3 generations of my family even attended the school where Assemble Churches meets, and so to be part of leading this church is such an absolute privilege for me. Newark is part of who I am. Over the years we’ve had opportunities to move away and plant ourselves elsewhere, but Dom and I both feel the call of God over us to be part of His plan for this town. We don’t know yet what that’s going to end up looking like, but the Bible says that God’s word is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path, and so as long as we keep following Him we know it’s going to be amazing!
