The Mission of Ashraya is to be a family of churches who are: Passionate for Jesus Connecting the Unconnected, and Serving the Community.
Ashraya, in Sanskrit, means refuge, and at Ashraya Noida, we truly hope to be a safe place for the hurting to come and receive hope and care.
The Most Important

I'M NEW HERE!
What is a Church? Church is just a collective name for people who have put their faith in, and follow, Jesus. When a group of Jesus’ followers meet together to worship God and study the Bible, as we do here on Sunday mornings, we call that a “church service”.
Praise & Worship? You may notice that we sing songs together when we meet. This time of singing is often called “praise & worship” or a “worship service.” Worship is a significant term that means that God is worthy, or that he deserves, the best of all that we are. Our whole lives should be lived to honor him - this is worship. When we meet for a church service, we usually make focused 1 time to praise and worship God together using songs. Praise means to say out loud how amazing God is and to celebrate his amazing-ness together. Worship means to focus our attention on how great and exalted God is, to surrender our lives to God, and to experience closeness and intimacy with God. During our praise & worship time, we hope you will feel free to join if you want or sit quietly. There are no expectations here.
Prayer Prayer is talking to and listening to God. It’s simply a conversation between you and God. You can pray anytime and anywhere. There is no need for a special vocabulary, or character, or level of goodness. We believe we can pray to God the Father, through Jesus…
Sunday Message During a Sunday morning service, someone from the church will give a talk to help us all understand how the truth of the Bible practically applies in our lives. This person has studied the Bible in advance during the week and comes prepared to share what they feel like God wants us to hear from the Bible. Please feel free to ask any questions you have while the message is happening.

Connect
“Connect” is a time for us to meet together as a church. Connect always starts at 11 am on Sunday mornings. During our Connect meetings, we worship, pray and learn from the Bible together. Connect happens in different formats, usually on alternating weeks:

Connect Hubs Explained Connect Hubs are small group meetings that usually happen in homes. At a Connect Hub, you can join with other people in the Ashraya Noida family to build relationships in person in a
comfortable small group format. At Connect Hubs, you will log in together to Connect Online and have more personal
opportunities to share, pray and worship in community. Connect Hub locations are like food trucks or pop-up
restaurants. You may find them in different places on different
weeks, so keep an eye on the Whatsapp group to find a Connect Hub near you. Or you can host a Connect Hub to invite your friends and neighbors.
Connect Online and Connect Hubs are fully integrated so that
whether you log in on your own or from a Connect Hub, we all still get to grow together. Contact 9667379111 to learn more!
Connect Hybrid Explained On alternate Sundays, we have Hybrid Connect meetings, where we meet both in-person at The Haven basement and have a
Connect Online option. Anyone is welcome to join in person at the Haven. We simply request pre-registration, so we can
maintain Covid safety protocols. For any Hybrid Connect week, a simple link will be posted in the Whatsapp group for you to register.
Our Hybrid Connect services are also broadcast live on the
standard Connect Online Zoom link. So, on Hybrid Connect weeks you can still join at the same time to Connect Online, from anywhere.
Journey Together (LG)
Another thing we do as a church is meet together during the week for Life Groups (LG) (which we call LGs). In LGs, we share a meal, study the Bible together and spend time getting to know each other. Our life groups usually meet twice a month. We have Life Groups in Greater Noida and Noida Sector 78. Contact 9843736442 for more information.
