Connect
Are you curious about how New Life functions, our leadership, what we believe, and how to serve? Comprised of an afternoon class, First Steps is designed to help you connect with New Life, discover your personal and spiritual gifts, and how you can use those gifts for God. First Steps is offered after Sunday Morning service during the months of August, November, February, and May.
Our Next First Steps Class will be held on Sunday November 24th immediately following service.
Belong
This is an overview of New Life, led by our Lead Pastor, Paul Zink II. He will discuss our story, Points-of-Passion, and how you belong at New Life.
Connect & Grow
Connect & Grow is about connecting with the body of Christ and growing in our relationship with the Lord is essential to every believer. This step will show the value and give clear steps to connect here at New Life and to achieve spiritual growth.
Serve
The last part of the class emphasizes the areas of ministry that New Life offers and how you can contribute in those areas. The Scripture teaches us that Jesus came not to be served, but to serve. We believe serving is the highest calling and honor. This step will show you how you can begin to serve in the ministries here at New Life.
