What is New Life all about?
At New Life Assembly we get our directions from Jesus Christ himself: “Go into all the world and make disciples of every nation…” (Matt. 28:19). This is our task, to go and make. As a result, where New Life is headed is written this way:
Making and Sending Followers of Christ
This is what we are about. We ourselves want to be people who are fully devoted to Jesus Christ but we know it doesn’t end there. We also invest ourselves in the lives of other people in the hopes that they will do the same.
We are headed down the path of discipleship. This path leads us to genuine spiritual transformation that enables us to grow together while also attentively listening, understanding and feeling the hearts of our neighbors. We hope that you are headed in this same direction.
How do we do this?
We believe that followers of Christ are best cultivated by people moving through four major worship environments: connecting, growing, serving, and going. Put them together and you have a great environment for spiritual transformation.
Worship
This is where followers begin, worshiping Jesus in all aspects of our lives. We believe worship is the foundation for all ministry and Christian living (Ephesians 2:1-2)
Connect
Connecting in relationships is part of our discipleship journey; both with God and neighbor. We believe that no Christian walks this journey alone; we were created in the image of God and that image is a community concept. (Genesis 1:26-27)
Grow
Growing environments include participation in small groups, we call Life Groups. These enable people to grow in both their relationships, and their understanding of the faith and its practical working out in their lives. (Luke 22:7-38)
Serve
Knowing is not enough, we must do. People then move on to serving others both inside and outside the church. (Ephesians 5:15-21)
Go
Followers of Christ are cultivated through participation in the Great Commission across the street and around the world. (Matthew 22:37-39, 28:18-20)
Making and Sending Followers of Christ is what we are about. We strive to be people who are fully devoted to Jesus Christ but we know it doesn’t end there. We also invest ourselves in the lives of other people in the hopes that they will do the same. We are headed down the path of discipleship.

We hope that you are headed in this same direction.
