How Can I Connect?

Serving in an area of ministry that you enjoy is a great way to get involved and make a connection here at New Life. Do you feel God nudging you to join the team? Or maybe you are interested in just participating in a ministry rather than leading it. Either way, feel free to talk to any of the ministry leaders to find out more about opportunities to serve!

 

Jesus told us, his disciples, to make disciples of all nations. One of the most important values of this church is our outreach to others around us. It begins in our own community, and spreads overseas to every nation. At New Life, volunteers are involved in a variety of ministries.  See below for some of the ways you can connect and share your gifts and talents with others.

 

Small Groups

Small Groups are a way to connect with other families within the New Life Family. In small groups questions can be asked and answered, additionally it’s a great way to develop lasting relationships with your friends and neighbors as we walk through life together. Topics, dates, and times will vary throughout the year. Please see Pastor Tony or Wanda Dorsing for more details.
 

Plugged In Events

This ministry involves planning, organizing, or just participating in social events at New Life Fellowship (NLF).  The intention is to strengthen relationships among those who attend NLF regularly, as well as welcome and get to know those who are just checking it out.  These events provide a chance to get to know others in a relaxed, laid back, Christian environment.  These are activities that involve all ages.  Activities might include, but are not limited to game nights, sports day, bon fires, hayrides, movie nights and so on.  Often a pot-luck style meal accompanies the activity.  To find out more, or offer ideas for future Plugged In events, contact Brea Diaz.

Worship/Music

The Worship Ministry leads the congregation into worship through music/ singing.

The ministry prays for direction, chooses appropriate songs to complement the overall worship theme. The team practices on a weekly basis to provide a professional level of worship. The ministry teaches the congregation new songs as appropriate and carefully assesses and nurtures the congregation’s voice as well as the body of songs that are dearest to the congregation.  If you have musical talents and would like to be involved in the music ministry, contact Robyn Valdez or Stacie Cochran.
