Story

Walking into a new place for the first time can sometimes be uncomfortable. We put this page together to help you know what to expect when you arrive at New Life Church and hopefully put you at ease.
What To Expect
On Sunday mornings you will find inspiring God-centered music, life changing teaching and preaching, friendly people and a place where you feel welcome and “at home”.
Membership is not a requirement for attending any of our meetings or events. All are always welcome.

Worship Service - We meet Sunday Mornings at 10:00 am.

When You Arrive
Enter through the main doors. After you have entered you will be greeted by our welcome team and receive a bulletin that outlines the morning service and the activities for the week. Please feel free to ask our welcome team any questions you may have.

What Happens During the Worship Service?
Worship through Singing - Our worship style is a variety of contemporary and traditional choruses.

Worship through Prayer - We at New Life Church believe prayer is a great privilege. Prayer in its simplest definition is “talking with God.” Since conversation is such a vital part of any growing relationship, during our prayer time, praise reports as well as prayer requests will be shared.

Worship through Preaching - During this time, our Pastor or Guest Speaker will deliver a God inspired, Bible based sermon. “All scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness” (2 Timothy 3:16)

What Do You Have For My Children?
Nursery - For newborn children through 2 years of age we have a nursery and well qualified and trained staff to take care of your childs needs.

Jam Church - For children age 3 through Kindergarden we have a special Program for this particular age group. During this time all of the children will partake in a variety of activities and a Bible lesson.

Activate Kid's Church - For children in 1st grade through 6th grade we have an exciting Children’s Church. During this time all of the children will partake in a variety of activities and a Bible lesson geared for their particular age group.

Alive Youth Church - For kids and teens in grades 7th through 12th. Every Wednesday night at 7pm the youth are invited to join us for an exciting evening. We hold a service geared specifically towards their age group where they can worship God freely and dive into scripture and teaching which can be applied to where they are in their life. We also hold many exciting events throughout the year.

What Should I Wear?
Whatever you are comfortable in. Some people get a little dressed up, while others wear jeans and a tee shirt. Just be yourself.

After the Service
Everyone is invited to stay for coffee and enjoy a relaxing time to get to know one another.

Mission

OUR MISSION STATEMENT

New Life Church exists to make Christ known by living our faith, loving all people, and leading them to fullness in Him.

OUR VISION STATEMENT

People everywhere experiencing ALL THINGS NEW in Christ.

WHAT WE BELIEVE

- The scriptures are inspired by God and declare His design and plan for mankind.
- There is one true God - revealed in three persons...Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (commonly known as the Trinity).
- As God's son Jesus was both human and divine.
- Though originally good, man willingly fell to sin-ushering evil and death, both physical and spiritual, into the world.
- Every person can have restored fellowship with God through salvation.
- Two ordinances: Water baptism by immersion & holy communion. WE
- The baptism in the Holy Spirit is a special experience following salvation that empowers believers for witnessing and effective service, just as it did in New Testament times.
- The initial physical evidence of the Baptism in the Holy Spirit is ‘speaking in tongues.’
- Sanctification initially occurs at salvation but is also a progressive, life-long process.
- The church has a mission to seek and save all who are lost in sin.
- A divinely called and scripturally ordained leadership ministry serves the church.
- Divine healing of the sick is a privilege for Christians today and is provided for in Christ’s atonement.
- The Blessed Hope (the second coming). At this future moment in time all believers who have died will rise from their graves and will meet the Lord in the air, and Christians who are alive will be caught up with them, to be with the Lord forever.
- The millennial reign of Christ - when Jesus returns with His saints at His second coming and begins His benevolent rule over earth for 1,000 years.
- A final judgment will take place for those who have rejected Christ.
New heavens and a new earth that Christ is preparing for all people, of all time, who have accepted Him.
