Helping those in need



Would you like to help someone in need this holiday?

The Bible says, “He who is kind to the poor lends to the LORD, and he will reward him for what he has done” Proverbs 19:17. The holidays are a great time to reach out to those in need. There are members of our community, and even in our own church family who can use a helping hand over Christmas. Here are a few ways that you can get involved:

1) Buy a gift card to a local supermarket and drop it off at the church office, we'll then pass it along to someone in need.

2) Make a special financial gift to the church and designate it for "members in need," we'll direct 100% of the gift to a member who could use a helping hand. 


If you would like to find out more practical ways to help, send us an email at info@newlifecommunitychurch.net

New Series Starts this Sunday-- Bring a friend!



Miracles come at unexpected times, to unexpected people, in unexpected places.  Join us this December for a series through the Christmas story in the Gospel of Luke- and bring a friend! 

Our church was broken into again!

Our church was broken into again! This time it was the church office. Once again they smashed the window and were in and out quickly. The police came out to investigate, but there's not a lot they do in a case like this. It's sad to see a church broken into, but it reminds us that there are people out there who need Christ!

We’re not the only one it’s happening too. Our neighbor reported that since they’ve been in this business park, they’ve been robbed three times.

What to know - We're working to put things back together. The insurance company will help with the expenses, but we have to pay the deductible. We also had the alarm company come out and make recommendations for added security. They are recommending two new motion sensors in the building. When all is said and done, the out of pocket expense to the church for the deductible and the sensors will be between $900-$1000.

What to do - Please pray for God's protection our facility, pray that we can get everything back in place quickly, and pray that the people who robbed us would come to know Christ.
