Adult Sunday School Class

10:00am in the Fellowship Hall

Church History, it's not about names, dates and facts. It's about the flesh and blood people of God, those who are members of our spiritual "family tree." It's a fascinating journey, telling the story of how God has preserved His church from the time the Apostles handed off the baton at the close of Acts 28 to the present. 

Come with us as we travel through time and discover how, through the ups and downs, and the challenges and triumphs of life, Christ's Church has prevailed and overcome through the blood of the lamb and the word of their testimonies.

 This will be a fun and informative study, one that raises our vision of God and teaches us what faithfulness to God really looks like. Join us on Sunday mornings and get introduced to some of the family members you didn't know you had! 


Men’s Bible Study Breakfast

Tuesday Mornings, October 1-22, 6-7:30am

 A full hot breakfast will be provided along with study material.

 Topic: Hacking Agag to Pieces (taken from 1 Samuel 15) 

Every honest Christian man will testify that the tendency to sin is not erased by becoming a believer. The truth is, we still sin daily. So how can we put to death sin and its influence — as we know we must? 

 The famous Puritan Preacher John Owen is famously quoted as saying, “Do you mortify sin; do you make it your daily work; be always at it whilst you live; cease not a day from this work; BE KILLING SIN OR IT WILL BE KILLING YOU.”

Mark your calendars and make plans to join the men of New Life as we dig into God’s Word together and encourage each other as we fight the good fight of faith!

 Use the button below to let us know you’re coming so we can make sure to have enough breakfast for everyone! (You can also sign up at the Info Center or by calling the church office - 886-1977)


Recommended for Membership

The New Life elders are recommending Kevin & Nichole Fischbach for membership. In following our church constitution, their names will be posted here for two weeks and then they will be welcomed into membership. If you are wondering how membership works, you can read what our church constitution says about it here. The Next Steps Class is required for membership and we typically hold two series of classes each year. See below for more details…


NEXT STEPS is an opportunity to learn more about New Life Church, the Evangelical Free Church of America, and our Statement of Faith. We’ll discuss…

  • The background of the EFCA and New Life Church

  • The 10 points in our statement of faith

  • How to get plugged into serving at New Life

  • How to take the next step on the Discipleship Pathway

This class is required for membership at New Life, but is also good for anyone wanting to learn more about the church.

We invite you to come to Room 209 between the worship services (10:00-10:45) October 6-27! 


Life Group Picnic

For all Life Group members, their families, and anyone interested in learning more about Life Groups. We’ll provide the main dish and some yard games! Please bring a side or dessert to share. Sunday, October 6, 12:15-2:00pm, at the Life House.


Dinners at Home

Dinners at Home is a way to fellowship with our church friends and newcomers. We recently had successful dinners on August 17. We are scheduling the next dinners for Saturday, October 26. Please mark your calendars and plan to participate!

We are asking several of you to take a step towards hospitality, something talked about a lot in the Bible, by signing up to host a meal at your house. 

We will ask others to sign up to attend a meal. When everyone has been added to a group, we’ll get a list to each host. Each host/hostess contacts guests so that everyone attending can bring something for the meal. It’s really an easy and effective way to meet new people and make them feel welcome. Let’s open our hearts and homes and PRACTICE HOSPITALITY!

Sign up at the Info Center - you can choose to host or attend.


Do you have extra Bibles at home?

A member of our community is collecting Bibles to send overseas. If you have used Bibles that you would like to donate, you can place them in the box near the office door.


Upcoming Short-Term Missions Trips

Steve Austvold is leading an upcoming missions trip. Teams would be partnering with the EFCA Crisis Response program and working with other EFCA churches to serve communities that have been affected by natural disasters. The button below will give you more details. If you are interested in serving, let us know. We have a few people from New Life that are interested and may want to travel together.


Each month, we will be highlighting a missionary or organization that is supported by New Life. We encourage you to be praying for them and also learning more about how God is working through them in their area of ministry.
