HOW LONG IS A NEWLIFE CHURCH SERVICE?

In total, a NewLife Church service is about 60 minutes in length. Services often begin with music & prayer – song lyrics are projected onto the screens so you can sing along and/or engage with worship however you feel most comfortable. During the service one of our pastors will share a message rooted in Scripture. We strive to have every service seasoned with grace and truth. We hope that you leave with something practical each week that helps you apply faith to your everyday life.

WHAT’S THE CULTURE LIKE AT NEWLIFE CHURCH?

Sunday’s at NewLife are encouraging, casual, and relaxed. Come as you are and expect to feel welcomed as our guest.

WHAT ABOUT MY KIDS?

We believe that kids should have a blast at church every single week – and at NewLife, we make this a priority. The other thing we make a priority is your children’s safety. Because of that, we have a detailed check-in process for our NewLife Kids & Student programs. The first time you visit you’ll want to leave yourself an extra ten minutes to get signed in. NewLife Kids is offered at every Sunday service for kids ages infant through Grade 5.

OUR HOPE FOR YOU:

Our hope is that you would not only see the fingerprint of Jesus in each of us but that YOU would come to know Jesus and the fullness of assured salvation in Him alone, find community in a life-giving small group, discover purpose in service with their God-given gifts through our Discover Class & other opportunities, and that they would live the mission of Jesus outside the walls of our church more and more everyday. This is what we call “The Big Four”:

  1. Know Jesus
  2. Find Community
  3. Discover Purpose
  4. Live the Mission

Regardless if you make NewLife your “church home” or not, we pray these things for you.
