We believe sustained life change happens best in the context of growth group communities. In growth groups, people study God’s Word together and discuss the issues and challenges of life. It’s also where we pray, care for one another, and are missed if they don’t show up. We believe intentional relationships are key to sustained spiritual growth. That’s why growth groups are such an important part of the church.

Practically speaking, there will never be a way for the pastors and our staff to personally minister to everyone who attends our church. That’s why we place such a high premium on group life. It’s how we minister effectively at New Life Ministry. To out more about growth groups we encourage you to look through this page. Please contact our ministry lead below for any questions.

Day and time: Saturdays at 9:00 AM
Location: Church

Description: We will be seeking to know him and make him known in authentic Holy Spirit empowered witness to our neighbors; be they at work, in our community, nearby, and to the ends of the earth. This is not a Bible study or class as much as it is a group eager to learn together in a Christ centered community involved in genuine friendships with those unengaged and unaware of the glory of our Father and see the Father draw them to Jesus.

Day and time: Saturdays 7:30am
Location: Church

Description: A group where men can come together for sexual purity, accountability, and an honest discussion. We all need someone to be honest with us. It’s a great help just to have someone ask you, “How did it go last night? Did you honor the Lord? Did you maintain your purity?”
