About NFCM
Our Foundation
Built on faith. Growing through service. Reaching beyond our walls.
Since May 2005
Our Story
New Foundation Christian Ministries traces its beginnings to May 2005, when a small group began meeting for Bible Study and Prayer in the home of Founder and Senior Pastor Bishop Donald McFarlane.
From these beginnings, the ministry developed into an established Christian community focused on biblical teaching, prayer, fellowship, evangelism and practical service.
Over the years, NFCM has grown beyond its physical congregation, using digital platforms including YouTube and Facebook to make worship, teaching and ministry accessible to people locally and within the diaspora.
Throughout its history, the church has held together spiritual development and practical care for people and communities.

Fellowship
Through S.A.F.E. Groups, ministries and church gatherings, members find support, accountability and belonging.
