Daily Bible Verse
Next Chapter Church: About Us
There’s a reason that the Bible tells us in Psalm 122:1 that, “I was glad when they said to me, let us go to the house of the Lord.” You see, church was never meant to be boring! it is meant to be a place of enjoyment, benefit and deepening relationships with God and other people.
Anyone who has ever sat under Pastor Shawn’s leadership in the church, or his teaching from the pulpit, knows that church is designed to be a place of blessings and benefit. It is a long-held belief that he both holds and works towards in every church that he has served as Founding or Senior Pastor, and why every church he’s involved in attracts a crowd with an energy and anticipation that makes church the highlight of many attendees week.
Pastor Shawn Mitchell
The Extraordinary Life of Senior Pastor and Leader Shawn Mitchell
Anyone who knows Shawn Mitchell, quickly senses that he is a lover of people, second only to God.
Raised Catholic, he always had a sensitivity to the Lord, but it was committing his life to Christ at age 17 that set the course for this man’s life. Shawn Mitchell achieved truly insurmountable feats because he had a definite desire in life, to share the good news of Jesus Christ not just to the inviting parts of the world, but even communist countries such as Budapest, Hungary, Yugoslavia, and Romania where spreading the Gospel is outlawed.
While in college he was invited to preach on U.S. Army bases stationed in Europe. While there, the Christian underground approached the home where he was staying and invited him on a Bible smuggling mission into communist Europe. Shawn was so passionate about preaching, that he took enormous risks to spread the Word. For many top influencers this would be reaching a significant level of achievement, but Shawn did not stop there.

Testimonials
"In these unprecedented times, it is so very easy for us to lose focus on what makes life worth living. Everything we need is found in the Word of God and I have found that NO ONE makes the Bible come to life more than the Pastor of NCC, Shawn Mitchell! Next Chapter is a place where you can come as you are and be met by the living God through amazing teaching and fellowship. Truly a place I call home and I hope you do too!"
"I used to believe, and to some extent still do; that the reason more people are not Christians is frankly, OTHER CHRISTIANS. But 33 years ago, when I first sat down at New Venture; one of the first things that came out of Pastor Shawn's mouth was, "When I started a Church, I wanted it to be a place where non-Christians could come and not think we were all weird". I thought to myself, "This guy gets it"
