CHANGE THE WORLD

However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace. Acts 20:24 NIV

We create an easy, obvious and effective process where people can serve as a life changer: Because people ministering is the Biblical Model. Because people need to be needed. Because serving others meets the greatest need of the hu-man heart.

Success is when people are moving on the spiritual journey that God has for them.

We move people from lost to found by providing a weekend service where they can receive The Promise.

We move people from found to mentored by providing a small group where they can experience freedom.

We move people from mentored to equipped by providing a Growth Track where they can discover purpose.

We move people from equipped to engage by providing a Life Changer Team where they can change the world.

They came to Bethsaida, and some people brought a blind man and begged: Jesus to touch him. He took the blind man by the hand and led him outside the village. When he had spit on the man’s eyes and put his hands on him, Jesus asked, “Do you see anything?” He looked up and said, “I see people; they look like trees walking around.” Once more: Jesus put his hands on the man’s eyes. Then his eyes were opened, his sight was restored, and he saw everything clearly. Mark 8:22-25 NIV

Our Vision: We exist to lead people to experience freedom through a new life in Christ and build healthy relationships.

Our Purpose: Receive the Promise. Experience Freedom. Change the World.

Our Mission: Lost People found. Found people mentored. Mentored people equipped. Equipped people engaged.

Today, like everyday, at New Life you can celebrate Jesus by being baptized in water and in Spirit!

3 reasons to be baptized today:

Baptism follows the Example set by Jesus. Matthew 28:19 (NIV), 1 John 2:4 (TLB); Mark 16:15 (TLB)

Baptism Demonstrates What Happened. 1 Peter 3:21 (TLB)

Baptism Declares My Commitment Publicly. Matthew 10:32 (NIV)
