What kind of church is New Life and what do you believe?
New Life is a Purpose Driven,
Christ-centered, family oriented church. We are an independent church that
is proud to be connected to great church movements like the
Purpose-Driven Church.
We are a church ‘for our time’ that holds tightly to the
‘timeless’ teachings of the Bible. Click the link for more
information about our
doctrinal beliefs,

Will I have to dress up?
No.
Because we are a casual church
you don’t have to wear suits, ties, or dresses (unless, of
course, you want to!).
The only thing we ask is that you be
comfortable…and modest.
The important thing is that you come
to worship!

What time do your services start? How long do they last?
Our lives are busy
and our schedules get kind of hectic. So, at New Life we have
created two identical Sunday morning services (9am and
11am) to give you options that better fit your schedule.
You can attend the service that works best for you! Services
usually run about an hour and 15 minutes and have
nursery
care, preschool classes, and
children’s ministry.

What do you offer for my kids? How will I know if they
need me?
We have
excellent,
safe, children’s ministry programs that are designed to provide
quality care and biblical instruction for your children.

Shining Stars Preschool
Allstar
Elementary Age Children's
Program
You may register your children in the lobby before the services. You and your child will be given
identical tag numbers. If we need to contact you during the
service the number will be called into our tech staff and your
number will flash on the screen in the main auditorium.
We believe you and your children will have a better time (and
a more age-appropriate experience) in our Kids ministries, but
we do understand that while you are checking us out you may
feel more comfortable keeping your children with you. If so,
please help us by being sensitive to those around you and by
monitoring your child’s noise and distraction levels.

Will I be singled out in any way as a visitor?
No.
We want you to be able to come and enjoy the service
as our guests. No one will single you out, put a sticker on
you, ask you to speak, or force you to fill out any
information about yourself.
You will, however, be greeted by
friendly people at our doorways, be given an opportunity to
shake hands with people near you during the service, and be
invited (if you want to) to fill out an information card. (If
you fill out this card you will receive a welcome letter and
information about the church and/or ministries you express
interest in).
No one will show up at your doorstep without an invitation!
That's our promise to you. We respect your privacy!
You can place that information card in the offering
basket (in place of a monetary offering) or drop it off at our
Welcome Center. Our Welcome Center is staffed by helpful
people who will be glad to give you information about our
church, programs, and ministry opportunities.

What will the service (music and preaching) be like?
We attempt to provide music and teaching that is contemporary,
interesting, and relevant to your life.
You will usually
experience about 20 minutes of music and singing, followed by
some announcements that correspond to events posted in our
bulletin, and then about 40-45 minutes of practical Bible
teaching.
We use many different translations of the Bible, but
stick most often with the New King James Translation.
We
work hard to make sure the multi-media church experience
is engaging, Biblical and informative for adults of all ages!

Are you going to ask me for my money?
It does take money to run a church . And giving is a godly spiritual habit.
But
money is not what we are about!
We do take a collection during
our worship service, but that collection is meant for our
regular attendees and members. We routinely ask our guests and
visitors to refrain from putting any money in the offering
baskets but to simply let it pass them by during that portion
of the service.
