2013 → The First Step of Faith
On Easter Sunday, 50 people gathered in a hotel conference room, believing God was calling them to plant a church. New Heights Bentonville, now New Heights Community Church, was born.
If your presence will not go with me, do not bring us up from here.
Exodus 33:15 (ESV)
Dear New Heights Family,
God has been faithful to us at every step. Now He is calling us to take the next one.
“Go with God” is our response. In Exodus 33, Moses tells the Lord, “If your presence will not go with me, do not bring us up from here.” We feel the same way. We only want to move if God is leading.
That is why we are building a new home at 2125 W. New Hope Road. It gives us room to grow our ministries, welcome our neighbors, and plant churches across Northwest Arkansas and beyond.
Will you pray, give, and step forward in faith with us?
Let’s go with God, together.
Grace and peace,
Josh Wilson
Lead Pastor
New Heights Community Church
Dear New Heights Family,
When I look back on what God has done among us, I am grateful. From our humble beginnings, God has guided us through every season, helping us grow, serve, and make a real difference in our community. Now, we stand at a turning point where God is calling us to embrace an even greater vision for the future of New Heights Community Church.
Our “Go with God” initiative is a heartfelt response to this call. We depend on God’s presence in all we do. Just as Moses would not take a step without God’s guidance, we too desire to move forward only if God is leading the way.
This initiative is about aligning our lives, ministries, and resources with His purpose. We are excited about securing a new building that meets our current needs and creates a space where God’s work can flourish. With this new home, we can expand our ministries, support our growing community, and plant seeds for future church plants that will spread God’s love even farther across Northwest Arkansas and the world.
“Go with God” encapsulates our commitment to follow wherever He leads, trusting in His provision and embracing the opportunities He places before us. We long for God’s presence and power to move through every aspect of our church life. This initiative is about building a community that thrives on faith, generosity, and an unwavering commitment to His mission.
We invite you to give, pray, and go with us. Let’s come together to embrace this vision, support one another, and see what God will do through us when we step forward in faith, just as Moses did.
Thank you for being such a vital part of our family. Let’s trust God to lead us where He wants us to go.
Let’s go with God, together!
Grace and peace,
Josh Wilson
Lead Pastor
New Heights Community Church
Our Story So Far
2015 → Growing Together
The congregation grew, and with it came the need for a new space. The move to Apple Glenn Elementary allowed us to expand to two services and welcome more families. It was a season of stepping into God’s abundance, trusting Him to meet our needs.
2016 → A New Leader, A New Season
Josh Wilson was commissioned as Lead Pastor. Leaders and members committed to trust God through the change, with a renewed focus on growth and discipleship.
2020 → A Home for the Mission
After years of setting up and tearing down every Sunday, we moved into our current building in January 2020. It became the hub for worship, ministry, and community, and living proof of God’s faithfulness.
2021-23 → New Ministries, New Lives
In every corner of the church, lives were being transformed. Kids Ministry grew by 25%, Bridge Preteen Ministry tripled, and Student Ministry attendance doubled. Families with special needs found respite and belonging. This was a season of fruitfulness, where God turned faith into action and action into life change.
2023 → A Vision for the Future
The church cast its 2030 Vision, committing to plant churches, deepen discipleship, and expand its mission locally and globally. We embraced the call to trust God for greater things, believing He would do immeasurably more than we could ask or imagine.
2024 → Stepping into the Unknown
With a growing congregation and a vision for more, we made an offer on a property at 2125 W. New Hope Road in Rogers. At the same time, we launched the "Go with God" initiative, a two-year season of radical generosity and spiritual growth. We are trusting God to provide the resources and space to reach even more people for Christ.
2025 → The Land Is Ours
In January 2025, we purchased 9+ acres and an existing building at 2125 W. New Hope Road for $3 million. In March, the whole church joined Go With God.
2026 → Building Begins
Construction started in summer 2026. Commerce Construction is renovating 10,000 square feet and adding 14,000 more. We plan to move in mid-2027.
Our Future Home in Rogers
In 2024, God opened the door to 9+ acres and an existing building at 2125 W. New Hope Road in Rogers, minutes from Bentonville and just off I-49. At $3 million, it cost a fraction of staying where we are. The owner chose our offer over higher bids because, in his words, “this is what God is doing.”
