What happens on a Sunday?
If you’ve never been to New Life Church before, you’re probably wondering what to expect. Great question! The first (and most important) thing to expect is a personal encounter with the living God.
We know He is everywhere. He’s waiting to meet you, and you can meet Him at any time, no matter what you’re doing. But we also know that where two or three are gathered together in His name, He’s there, too. Right there. With them. In the middle of it all. It is incredible.
In-person services
Our church services start with sung worship. It’s a time to settle your spirit, reconnect and honour your Lord as you prepare your heart to take part in Communion and to hear from His word. Then one of our leaders will share what the Lord has laid on their heart to bring to us. Afterwards, we gather for a time of fellowship with tea, coffee, biscuits, and soft drinks. If you are unable to attend the meeting, then you can watch or listen back to the Sunday sermon here.
Need anything?
We’re here to serve you. We want to bring God’s presence into your life in a real and tangible way.
So, if there’s anything on your heart or mind that’s weighing you down, if you’re battling stress or anxiety, if you’re poorly, or anything at all, please feel free to reach out to a member of our team or the person next to you. Ask them to pray for you, and prepare to receive the blessing of God in your life.
He doesn’t always answer the way we want or expect Him to. But He does always answer. Come and find your answer.
