New Bern, NC is a historic town at the confluence of the Neuse River and the Trent River, where the eastern piedmont region's flat topography meets the Atlantic Ocean. Feast-goers in New Bern will enjoy October's average temperatures of mid-70s to the low 50s.

 

As the first capital of North Carolina from 1770 to 1792, New Bern boasts early American and colonial history, standing as the second-oldest European-settled colonial town in the state. Delve into history as you wander through the four historic districts listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The numerous buildings, dating back to the early eighteenth century, include residences, stores, and churches, offering a glimpse into the town's rich architectural heritage. A quirky side note: it is the birthplace of Pepsi. 

 

New Bern has a small-town atmosphere with a population of approximately 22,000, presenting an unhurried pace and a relaxed environment. It genuinely provides a millennial setting for celebrating the Feast of Tabernacles.

 

There are multiple parks with hiking trails, offering forested retreats for quiet contemplation. Being adjacent to the bay and the Atlantic Ocean provides easy access to beautiful beaches and seaside venues.

 

Join us in New Bern to fellowship and feast, as we prepare for God’s coming Kingdom!
