One of the best ways to grow in your faith is by participating in a small group. New LIfe Church will be offering small group opportunities for you as we grow as a church. In a small group you will become friends with others as you journey together to learn more about God through studying the Bible, as you pray together, as you worship together, as you fellowship with one another, as you become more and more like Jesus as you live out life together in faith. We encourage you to find a small group to join, and if there is not one available for you that fits your schedule, consider starting a new small group. We will come along side you to help you get your group started.
