IMAGINE…

Imagine…Ephesians 3:20

Close your eyes, take a moment and imagine… 

Imagine...

A church where everyone is close, a church where we all genuinely love each other and want the best for each other. 

Imagine…

A church where we make it a point to celebrate each other and each others’ accomplishments, a church where we encourage each other and build each other up.

Imagine...

A church where we hold each other accountable; Accountable to live Right; To do something Significant in Life; Accountable to never quit (don’t choke) and to live Godly!
 
A church where we really want to see each other make it and win in life!
 
A church where we communicate and resolve all issues – where nothing lingers.
 
A church where we unconditionally love one another…in the good and in the not so good.
 
Can you believe that this church can exist? Well, it does…and we are here…
 
Welcome to The NCFC!  The New Covenant Fellowship Church is your place of worship.

Pastors Derrick and Ilya Golden opened the doors to a journey of a lifetime with God in Faith.  They launched the official Sunday bible study in their home on August 12, 2007, there were 34 people in attendance.
 
They dared to believe and in faith, moved to Bennett Elementary School on October 14, 2007 and launched the 1st official service of The New Covenant Fellowship Church of McKinney, there were 147 people in the service from all the surrounding areas and as far as Houston, TX.
 
As the work of the Lord continued producing fruit, Pastor Eben Conner, Sr. Pastor of Word of Truth Family Church, Mansfield, TX Pastor Derrick’s mentor and former Pastor instructed him to do the work for a year and if it be God then he would at that time ordain him.  So, in October 12, 2008, Pastors Eben and Sara Conner ordained Pastors Derrick and Ilya Golden into the Christian Ministry.
 
Later in that month both Pastor Derrick and Lady Ilya were also ordained by their Pastors, Bishop I.V. and Lady Bridgette Hilliard of New Light Christian Center Church and World Outreach Centers of Houston, TX at the Church Development and Strategies Conference as Pastors and members in the Association of Independent Ministries.
 
Needless to say, the work continued to grow and to accommodate the crowd, Pastors Derrick and Ilya decided to move locations.  As a result of prayer and counsel, on April 12, 2009, Easter Sunday, The NCFC moved to the larger Dowell Middle School where the word of God is taught in a casual atmosphere and serious faith is activated

What We Believe

The New Covenant Fellowship Church of McKinney, is a non-denominational ministry that believes that we have a responsibility to carry out the Great Commission to go out and make disciples of men, we intend to do this through what we believe:

  • THE SCRIPTURES - The Bible is the inspired Word of God. The New Covenant, as recorded in the New Testament, is what we accept as our infallible guide in matters pertaining to conduct and doctrine (I Thessalonians 2:13, II Timothy 3:15-17, II Peter 1:21).
  • THE GODHEAD - Our God is one but is manifested in three persons - the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit being co-equal (I John 5:7, John 1:14; 14:28). The Holy Spirit proceeds forth from both the Father and the Son and is eternal (John 15:26).
  • MAN: HIS FALL AND REDEMPTION - Man is a created being, made in the likeness and the image of God, but through Adam's transgression and fall, sin came into the world.  Jesus Christ, the Son of God, was manifested to undo the work of the devil and to give His life and shed His blood to redeem and restore man back to God (I John 3:8, Romans 3:23, Romans 3:10). 
  • SALVATION OF MAN - Salvation is the gift of God to man, separate from works and the Law, by grace through faith in Jesus Christ (Ephesians 2:8). The new birth is necessary to all men, and when fulfilled, it produces eternal life (John 3:3-5, II Corinthians 7:10).
  • WATER BAPTISM - Baptism in water by immersion is a direct commandment of our Lord and is for believers only. The ordinance is a symbol of the Christian's identification with Christ in His death, burial, and resurrection (Matthew 28:19, Acts 8:36-39, Romans 6:4, Colossians 2:12).
  • BAPTISM OF THE HOLY GHOST - The Baptism in the Holy Ghost and fire is a gift from God as promised by the Lord Jesus Christ to all believers. This experience is accompanied by the evidence of speaking in other tongues as the Holy Spirit Himself gives utterance (John 14:16-17, Acts 1:8; 2:4).
  • SANCTIFICATION - We believe in the doctrine of sanctification as a definite yet progressive work of grace, commencing at the time of regeneration and continuing until the consummation of salvation (I Thessalonians 5:23, II Peter 3:18, II Corinthians 3:18).
  • DIVINE HEALING - Healing according to scripture. (Isa. 53:4-5, 1Cor. 12:9, James 5:14, Mark 16:17-18, Matt. 18:19, Mark 11:24)
  • RESSURECTION OF THE JUST AND THE RETURN OF OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR - His coming is imminent. When He comes...(Acts 1:11, I Thessalonians 4:16-17). Following the tribulation, He shall return to earth as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Then, together with His saints, who shall be kings and priests, He shall reign for a thousand years (Revelation 20:6).
  • HELL AND ETERNAL RETRIBUTION - The one who physically dies in his sins without Christ is hopelessly and eternally lost in the Lake of Fire, and therefore, has no further opportunity of hearing the Gospel or repenting. The Lake of Fire is literal (Hebrews 9:27, Revelation 19:20).
  • HEAVEN - Place of eternity promised by God (Heb 9:24, Matt. 3:2, 5:16, Col. 1:5…)

Pastor Derrick Golden

On life’s incredible journey, many seek after fame, fortune and one’s definitive purpose in life.  But for some, divine destiny and God’s ultimate purpose is clear.  From the age of nine, in St. Petersburg, Florida, Pastor Derrick Golden gave his life and his heart to Jesus Christ and answered the call to serve God and humanity.  Through the years, his call has matured; resulting in a profound passion to see people live balanced, sober and settled lives.

Pastor Derrick Golden is one of America’s new voices of faith, hope, change and accountability in Christian ministry.  His leadership and energy is contagious and his message is touching thousands of lives in North Texas.  His personality and deep concern for people attracts those from all walks of life.  Pastor Golden has served in ministry in various positions:  from cutting the church lawn, serving as Sunday School Superintendent at the age of twelve years old, singing in the Youth Choir, serving on the parking lot, teaching in Children's Church, to serving as the Men's Ministry Leader, Minister, life coach and church administrator.  Pastor Golden has experienced servant hood at all levels, all to the Glory of God.

Upon graduating, Northeast Senior High in 1987, he received an athletic scholarship to play football at the University of Miami, where he played with some of the most famous Hall of Fame players of our day.  Though never a consistent starter, when he got in the game, his coaches always told him to go out there and make the BIG play, and he always did.  Pastor Golden says that he would never embellish his career as a Hurricane, however the player has now become the coach and he is dedicated to coaching others on how to make BIG plays in the Body of Christ, in their personal lives and in the lives of others.  

Pastor Golden  answered the call of God in August 2007,  becoming the founder of The New Covenant Fellowship Church in McKinney, TX.  Within the two short years, The NCFC has over 500 members.  Pastor Derrick has been married to Ilya Golden for 15 years; they attribute their marriage success to their personal motto, "whatever it takes!"  Pastor Derrick says that living without her is like breathing without air.  They are the parents of LeDerrianne, Maliek and Kyndal Golden.

Pastor Derrick’s commitment to God, his family and his community are undeniable.  He meets no stranger and he gives many hours mentoring and coaching others to live a better life.  His ability to communicate with  passion, sincerity and humor will not only inspire you, but will challenge you to Believe! 

Pastor Ilya Golden

Ilya Golden is a wife, mother and friend after God’s own heart. Pastor Ilya is the faithful companion of Pastor Derrick Golden and is co-founder of The New Covenant Fellowship Church of McKinney.

She’s creative and energetic, yet endearing and consumed with pleasing God. Among her many talents she is a gifted singer and songwriter. Her desire to see women overcome low self-esteem and issues of self-imposed fears is a paramount concern for her. Pastor Ilya believes that everyone is able to live an overcoming life.  "In one chapter of your life you could be the victim, but in the next chapter you could be victorious."

She serves alongside her husband, Pastor Derrick, in an enthusiastic and supportive role, which completes him but is uniquely her.
