On Mission

Our purpose as a church is to...


“Reach people for Christ and get them grounded, growing and on mission.”

Someone who is on mission for Christ…



Makes a commitment to the body of Christ
:

Scripture says that we’re all members of one body - the body of Christ (1 Corinthians 12). Someone who is "On Mission" for Christ recognizes the importance of the body of Christ and makes a commitment to play their part as members of Christ’s church.



Makes a contribution to the cause of Christ:

The Bible says that Christ’s ministry is done as each person plays their part (Ephesians 4:16). Someone who is "On Mission" for Christ eagerly seeks to make a contribution to the cause of Christ (1 Peter 4:10).



Pursues their unique role in the mission of Christ:

God has given us each a unique life purpose in the mission of Christ. Each person is created on purpose and for a purpose. As Ephesians 2:10 says, “We are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” Someone who is "On Mission" wants to discover and do those “good works” which God has prepared in advance. An “On Mission” follower of Jesus desires to understand and increasingly prioritize their life around their God-given role in the cause of Christ.

In a 5-Sunday month it takes a minimum of $35,852. It allows us to pay the bills and fund a minimal amount to our ministries.


How much was the actual giving for the month?

The giving for this month was $35,070.60.

Here is a quick snapshot of this year: 
 

Is there anything else I need to know?

If you’re someone who regularly gives to God at New Life: Thanks! Your giving makes a difference.

May Leader's Rally

Join us for our May leader’s rally. The meeting is on Monday, May 14th at 7:00 PM. Pizza will be served starting at 6:45 pm. We look forward to seeing all of our leaders there. If you have any questions, please contact your staff leader.

Counseling Resources

We desire to spiritually support our members through the different challenges of life. Our primary vehicle for spiritual support are small groups. Small groups are a place where members can share needs, pray for each and receive spiritual support and encouragement.

While we hope that many needs can be meet in small groups, we realize that often times a member may need a trained counselor or a specialized support group to provide the needed help.

While our church does not have “in house” counseling, or support groups, we can point you to two local organizations that can help. These local resources can supplement the spiritual support our church provides. One of the organizations focuses on counseling, the other offers support groups. To learn more, check out our Counseling Resource Page.

Not in a Group? Use the Discussion Questions for Personal Study

Each week, we provide an outline during the weekend service. On one side, we provide the Bible passage to look at during the service. On the other side, there are discussion questions that connect to that same weekly passage. These questions are designed to interact and apply the passage. 

These questions are used by our life groups that meet throughout the week. But these same questions can be used as a personal study tool. If you are not yet part of a group, you can use these questions during your personal Bible study time. They can provide an opportunity to dig deeper and reinforce the passage from the previous weekend’s service. Also, if you miss a service, both the message and the questions can be downloaded online.

Child Dedication, May 13th

Our next Child Dedication will be on May 13th.
