Imagine a church where you are celebrated and empowered! ❤️

A church where you know you are loved, valued, and wanted.

As your pastor, I want you to know something simple but powerful:

I love you.
I like you.
And I believe in you!

You are not just someone who attends church—you are someone who matters. You have a purpose, a calling, and a place in what God is doing.

Based on the book: THE PRIESTHOOD OF THE BELIEVERS by Stan Gleason

💙 YOU DON’T HAVE TO WALK THROUGH GRIEF ALONE

Grief can feel lonely and overwhelming, but you don’t have to face it by yourself. We invite you to join us for GriefShare at New Life Church, beginning October 5th.

📅 October 5th
⏰ 6:00 p.m.
📍 New Life Church

GriefShare offers a caring, welcoming place to find support, encouragement, and hope while navigating the journey of loss. Whether your loss is recent or happened years ago, you are welcome here.

You don’t need to have all the answers or have everything together. Come as you are, take one step at a time, and find comfort in a community that understands.

If you or someone you know is grieving, we would love to welcome you. ❤️

Come find community. Come find support. Come find hope.

Wednesday nights are exciting!

🔥 MINISTRY ISN’T JUST FOR THE PROFESSIONAL CLERGY! 🔥

The first-century church model was never designed for ministry to be carried by a select few. It was designed for the SAINTS to be involved in spiritual ministry!

In Acts 6, the apostles didn’t simply look for people to fill a position—they chose “men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom.” These were believers who were willing and equipped to serve!

And that’s exactly why God gave us the five-fold ministry!

“For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ.”
— Ephesians 4:12

The purpose of ministry leadership isn’t to do ALL the ministry—it’s to EQUIP THE SAINTS TO DO THE MINISTRY!

🙌 There is POWER in the pew!
🔥 There is anointed ministry sitting in our congregations!
🔥 There are Holy Ghost-filled believers who have gifts, callings, wisdom, and a burden to serve!
🔥 The church grows when the saints become ministers!

The pulpit is powerful—but so is the pew!

This is the Priesthood of the Believers!
Everyone equipped. Everyone involved. Everyone making a difference.

Powerful teaching from our First Lady!👏🏻

Be aware of the voices … 🗣️

Satan rarely begins by attacking our faith outright. He first attacks our separation to God
by sending deceptive voices that slowly disconnect us from the source of spiritual power.

We hear more voices today than perhaps any generation before us: social media • entertainment • friends • influencers • opinions • culture • algorithms.

‼️Not every voice deserves access to your spirit‼️

Protect your ATMOSPHERE
• HOME • MIND • SPIRIT.

The loudest voice in your life must always be the Word of God 📖🙌🏻🙏🏻

You don’t want to miss MidWeek service!!

Wednesdays @7:30!

We’ve been studying the book “Boundaries” and it has been such a powerful and beneficial resource in helping us understand ourselves, our relationships, and the importance of HEALTHY boundaries.

Its teachings can help us recognize unhealthy patterns, take responsibility for what is ours, and learn how to respond to others in a healthier, more biblical way.

Tonight, we looked at different boundary styles such as the Avoidant, Controller, Nonresponsive, and the Compliant person.

If you’ve ever struggled with saying no, taking on too much, avoiding conflict, trying to control situations, or responding to the needs of others in an unhealthy way, you need this book!

Thankful for our ministers and teachers here at New Life!🙌🏻
