Men
Men's Group is a weekly gathering of men who meet every Monday night at 6:45pm at the church. We gather at the church to eat some good food and have some great conversation and discussion. We believe this will lead to meaningful relationships and will make a huge difference in this world in which we live. We will also play basketball and watch whatever game is on. Men's Group is a great place to just hang out with some other men who have a passion for God and life.

Women
The foundation of Women's Ministry at NLCC is the truth that every woman is uniquely created by God to fulfill a special purpose. Our goal is to love, support and encourage women to find their worth in Christ. We come together to laugh, to cry, to grow, to learn, to become women who positively impact their families, community and the world.
Women's ministries offer a variety of opportunities to come together as girlfriends. From intimate Bible studies to large group activities to weekend retreats, you can find your place with women who care. Check the NLCC calendar for current studies and upcoming events.

Celebrate Recovery
Meets TUESDAYS, 7:00 pm, at the church
The purpose of New Life Community Church's Celebrate Recovery is to fellowship and celebrate God's healing power in our lives through the 8 Recovery Principles. This experience allows us to "be changed". We open the door by sharing our experiences, strengths, and hopes with one another. In addition, we become willing to accept God's grace in solving our live's problems. By working and applying these Biblical principles, we begin to grow spiritually. We become free from our addictive, compulsive, and dysfunctional behaviors. This freedom creates peace, serenity, joy, and most importantly, a stronger personal relationship with God and others. As we progress through the program, we discover our personal, loving and forgiving higher power -- Jesus Christ.
Welcome to an AMAZING SPIRITUAL ADVENTURE!
Music
The music that you will experience at New Life Community Church has one central goal, to prepare and inspire you to encounter God in a way you never have before. Music styles range from Inspirational, Rock, and sometimes a little R&B. The stage is filled with guitars, drums, keyboards and many other instruments as musicians use their musical talents to glorify God. The music is enhanced by utilizing a variety of multimedia elements including theatrical lighting, GOBO effects lighting and graphic video displays. If you enjoy listening to the popular worship songs on Christian radio today, you will love the music here at New Life.
Food 4 Friends
Food for Friends' mission is to show Christ's love by sharing in a loving and practical way by helping others that are in a temporary need for food. Food for Friends requires commitment from families in our church to be responsible to provide their assigned grocery items upon a request for a family in need. Food for Friends requires the participation of 40 families. Each family is responsible for whatever items they have signed up for. When Food for Friends is implemented each family brings their specified items to church on Sunday. When we all bring our items it supplies 3 weeks of groceries for a family in need.
Romans 12:13: "When God's people are in need, be ready to help them. Always be eager to practice hospitality."

Life Groups
Our Vision
To become a church where every person is given the opportunity to connect with other people through life groups.
Our Mission
To connect people to small groups which will be committed to grow spiritually, grow socially, and grow strategically.
What is a life group?
Life Groups are groups of between eight and twelve individuals who meet together on a regular basis. These groups are the pulse of New Life Community Church! They provide the best opportunity for individuals to connect with others, grow together and discover ways to share Christ through serving others.
Where do the groups meet?
Most groups meet in homes, sometimes meeting in one home, sometimes rotating between different members' homes. A few life groups meet at the church building.
Who attends the groups?
Anyone! Not just members of New Life Community Church, but anyone who expresses an interest in joining. Life Groups are "open". We have the "Open Chair" philosophy in which describes our openness to others joining our life groups.
What do the groups do together?
Everything! Life Groups learn together, laugh together, play together, pray together, party together, serve together, cry together, and grow together. All groups are encouraged to talk about and decide how they can serve together out in the community on some regular basis.
Who leads the group?
New Life Community Church members who have been trained to be life group leaders and have dedicated themselves to the vision of "Love God, Love People...nothing else matters". Life Group leaders develop apprentice leaders who assist with leading the group and then will later lead life groups of their own.
