  • MISSION & VISION

    KNOW GOD, FIND FREEDOM, DISCOVER PURPOSE, MAKE A DIFFERENCE


    Our vision here at New Life Church is that every person would Know God, Find Freedom, Discover Purpose, and Make a Difference. We try to keep church simple. That’s because we are ordinary people who simply strive to love one another, care about our community, and make a difference in this world. We understand that no one is perfect and everyone is “in process.” That’s why we have a “come as you are” environment. No matter where you are at in faith, be it none, some or a lot… there’s a place for you here.

  • OUR VALUES

    SUNDAY SERVICES

    Our first and foremost goal is that every person would Know God. Maybe you are burned out on religion, or just checking out Jesus, good news so are we! We strive to create a come as your are atmosphere. We would love to see you at our Weekend Service at 10am on Sunday. From music to the kid’s programs, we want everything to be top notch. We do this because, let’s face it, visiting a church is awkward! We want to honor our guests every week and it all starts with a locally brewed, tasty cup of coffee! 


    GROUPS

    Here at New Life we say that you Find Freedom in relationship with one another. No one stands alone and we are in this together. We are a church made up of Groups, not a church of Groups. We are committed to making spiritual growth a priority. Groups are a huge way that we make this happen. God calls us to be in community with each other so that we can do life together, encourage each other and grow in our faith. 


    GROWTH TRACK

    We believe that God has a unique purpose for each of us and we walk to help you Discover Your Purpose through our Growth Track!


    DREAM TEAM

    After you Discover Your Purpose we want you to live it out! We live out our Purpose on the Dream Team! We have multiple opportunities for you to live out Your Purpose and would love to get you connected on a team!

  • NEW LIFE BELIEFS

    “IN ESSENTIALS, UNITY. IN NON-ESSENTIALS, LIBERTY. BUT IN ALL THINGS, LOVE.”


    GOD THE FATHER

    God is the Creator and Ruler of the universe. He exists in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. These three are equal and are one God. Genesis 1:1,26,27; Psalm 90:2; Matthew 28:19; 1 Peter 1:2; 2 Corinthians 13:14


    JESUS CHRIST

    Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He is equal with the Father. Jesus lived a sinless human life and offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all people by dying on a cross. He rose from the dead after three days to demonstrate His power over sin and death. He ascended to Heaven and will return again someday to earth to reign as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Matthew 1:22-23; Isaiah 9:6; John 1:1-15; 14:10-30; Hebrews 4:14-15; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4; Romans 1:3-4; Acts 1:9-11; 1 Timothy 6:14-15; Titus 2:13


    THE HOLY SPIRIT

    The Holy Spirit is equal with the Father and the Son of God. He is present in the world to make people aware of their need for Jesus Christ. He also lives in every Christian from the moment of salvation. This immersion into Spirit-led living provides the Christian with the power to live a fruitful, victorious life, understanding of spiritual truth, and boldness in sharing the good news with others. He also gives us spiritual gifts. As Christians, we seek to live under His daily control. 2 Corinthians 3:17; John 16:7-13; 14:16-17; Acts 1:8; 1 Corinthians 2:12; 3:16; Ephesians 1:13; Galatians 5:25


    THE BIBLE

    The Bible is God’s Word to us. It was written by human authors, under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is the supreme source of truth for Christian beliefs and living. 2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:20-21; Psalm 12:6; 119:105, 160; Proverbs 30:5


    HUMAN BEINGS

    People are made in the image of God and are the supreme object of God’s creation. Although every person has tremendous potential for good, all of us are marred by an attitude of disobedience toward God called sin. Genesis 1:27; Psalm 8:3-6; Isaiah 53:6a; 59; Romans 3:23


    SALVATION

    Salvation is God’s free gift to us, but we must accept it. We can never make up for our sin by self-improvement or good works. Only by accepting Jesus Christ as God’s offer of forgiveness can anyone be saved from sin’s penalty. Eternal life begins the moment one receives Jesus Christ into his life by faith. Romans 6:23; Ephesians 2:8-9; John 1:12; 14:6; Titus 3:5; Galatians 3:26; Romans 5:1


    CHURCH

    We believe the church is the world-wide body of Christ. It is comprised of all believers who have been united through the sacrifice of Jesus. God has also called these believers to be part of a local church family. Matthew 16:18; Hebrews 12:22-24


    ETERNITY

    People were created to exist forever. We will either exist eternally separated from God by sin or eternally with God through forgiveness and salvation. Heaven and hell are real places of eternal existence. To be eternally separated from God is hell. To be eternally in relationship with Him is eternal life. John 3:16; 12:25; 14:2-3; 17:3; Romans 6:23; Revelation 20:15
