We were made to serve…

It’s no secret, there is pure joy in serving others. Jesus was the best example of this, teaching his disciples by his actions, showing them what it meant to be a servant. Mark 10:45 “For even the son of man did not come to be served, but to serve, and give his life as a ransom for many.”

If you call New Life your home on Sundays, be a part of God’s work here. We can’t do it on our own. We serve over 800 people every Sunday morning, and thousands more during the week between the nZone operations and community outreach. You could start by volunteering once a month. You will be surprised at how much fun you end up having, and when we use our gifts for God, it’s impossible not to experience an absolute joy that lasts all week long!

PLUMBER

  • We just can’t seem to keep all the drains unplugged or faucets working quite like they are supposed to.

You can make parents everywhere rejoice.
