Worship with us!

Sundays @ 10AM

WHO WE ARE

We GATHER to celebrate what God is doing. We seek opportunities to GROW in our faith. We GO beyond the walls of our church to come alongside God where He is working in our world.

As a part of the Church of the Nazarene, New Life shares a message of hope, forgiveness, and the power to overcome the habits and sins that destroy and debilitate our lives. Our focus is on sharing the good news that we all need and can have a relationship with God. We want to see everyone discover their full potential in Christ. Each week we meet to worship together, study the Bible, and share stories of how God meets our needs and helps us through the challenges of life. Together we learn how we can live a life that makes a difference. The messages are relevant, the worship is exciting, the people are friendly, and the atmosphere is casual. If you’ve never been to church or if you’ve attended all your life, you’ll find New Life to be a refreshing worship experience.

Jesus reached out to people of all ages and all backgrounds in all kinds of communities. We desire to do the same. That’s why you’ll discover ministries geared to various life stages and needs. You’ll find an awesome ministry to children and youth, as well as, a group of adults who understand the importance of building relationships.

WHAT TO EXPECT

You’ll be greeted with warm smiles and happy faces by people just like you who understand how hard it is to walk into a new church for the first time.

There is no dress code at New Life. You’ll find people in all kinds of casual wear. We’re more concerned about your needs than with what you are wearing.

Our music is much like what you’d hear on contemporary Christian radio. At all of our worship services you’ll find the freedom to be yourself as we worship.

Our pastors try to communicate what the Bible says in a relevant, practical way that challenges and helps every person who hears the message to live out God’s plan for their life. Our goal, each Sunday, is for you to encounter God and hear something that will make a difference in your life that week. Want to hear some past sermons?  Click HERE to check them out!
