In the Gospel of John we are going to go in-depth and look at the single most amazing human (God-man) to ever walk the face of this earth, Jesus Christ. Throughout this study in John we are going to be encouraged, shocked, convicted, and left with a deep sense of awe in regards to Jesus of Nazareth. The deepest yearnings of our soul will only be satisfied by the truths that we find in this book. Invite your family, friends, colleagues and join us as we gaze intently at the One who created the world and yet loved us enough to die for us.
Worship Services - 9:00am and 11:00am
Nursery care for children 0-2 is available. Children’s Church for kids age 3-5.
Sunday School for all ages | 10:15-11:00am
What if you could help change the world without changing your routine?
Our goal is that every single adult at New Life Church attends this 6 week class! You never come to Adult Sunday School? You need to come! This is a critically important class about reaching the lost in the counties all around us with the love of Jesus Christ. We are not going to make you feel guilty about not doing evangelism. Instead we are going to EQUIP and INSPIRE you to do outreach. Sunday School and Nursery are available to your children during this time period. It starts January 8th. Mark your calendars; you do not want to miss this!
Connection Cards
We have Connection Cards available on the backs of the chairs in the sanctuary. Guests can fill them out and take them to the Info Center for a free gift. Anyone can use them to submit prayer requests, request more information about ministries, update personal contact information, ask a question, or give feedback. Cards can be dropped into the offering boxes at the entrances to the sanctuary.

What Is Baptism of the Holy Spirit?
As we are working through the Gospel of John on Sunday mornings and the youth are working through the book of Acts Pastor Michael believed it would be a good idea to share with you an article about what the Bible teaches in regards to the baptism of the Holy Spirit. The "article" is actually a chapter taken from Wayne Grudem's "Systematic Theology" book. Wayne Grudem was one of Pastor Michael's professors at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. HERE is the link to the article.
Recommended for Membership
The New Life elders are recommending Ben Dalke for membership. In following our church constitution, his name will be posted here for two weeks and then he 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.
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 the first four Sundays in March!

New Women’s Study
Tuesday mornings | 5:45am at New Life | beginning January 24
How can we hold onto assurance of our faith? How can we discern the truth from a lie? How can we know God loves us? In these three short letters, the apostle John reminds an early church facing division, deception, and doubt to hold fast to what they know and to live like they believe it. And he reminds us, as well. In this 10-session Bible study on the letters of 1, 2, and 3, John, Jen Wilkin helps you see how two thousand years later, his words call to Christians in similar challenges to recall a great salvation and to abide in the truth.
Call the church office (886-1977) or email Sherry (sherryd@newlifeefree.org) if you’d like us to order a book for you.
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.
Opportunity to serve our Youth…
Each Wednesday we end our youth group evening with a snack and time to hang out together after their small group time. People from our New Life family have been providing snack for us - either homemade or picked up at a store. The students really enjoy this time! If you would like to bring a snack you can sign up using the button below (the sign up is near the bottom of the page), or call the church office (886-1977) and we can help you get signed up.
