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.
Taylor and Ellie Lindahl will be sharing briefly about their ministry during our worship services this Sunday (1/29). We look forward to having them with us!
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.

New Member
This week we welcome Ben Dalke as a member of New Life Church! 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 - the next series of classes will be held in March.
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 all four Sundays in March!
MEN’S RETREAT 2023
February 17-18 | Friday 6-9pm and Saturday 8-11:30am | Cost: $20
at New Life Church
Men, what is your life really all about?
What is your ultimate pursuit?
What is the true treasure of your life?
What are you running to in order to experience happiness and contentment?
At the upcoming Men’s Retreat we are going to be looking at the book of Colossians and there we will find that Jesus Christ is preeminent and that he alone is worthy of all of our devotion and passion. Along with the teaching of the Word of God we will also experience great worship, food from Dakota Butcher, and fellowship with other men. Bring your sons and invite your friends. Hope to see you there!
WE’LL HAVE T-SHIRTS FOR THOSE THAT REGISTER AND PAY BY FEBRUARY 5!
We are going to be having a New Life Dinner out hosted by the Youth Group! All of our New Life Families, Couples, or Singles are invited to come for dinner and dessert. Free childcare for kids up to 6th grade. Any donations you’d like to make will go towards the Youth Summer Missions trip. Please RSVP by Feb 5 so we can plan for food and childcare.
On Sunday, February 12, we will have baptisms during our worship services. If you or your child/teen would like to be baptized or would like to learn more about baptism, please call the church office or send an email to Lezlie (lezliee@newlifeefree.org).
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.
