It has been an amazing 3 weeks for New Life Church. We have many things for which to be thankful!
We feel God’s blessing in so many ways on New Life Church. Thank you for being a part of it! Currently, the leadership team is searching for an association or denomination that aligns with our interpretation of the Bible and our vision of discipleship and evangelism. Such a partnership would provide us with fellowship, training, and resources to further the reach of God’s kingdom. We know affiliating with a denomination is a big step, and not one to be taken lightly, or without the input of our church body. The leadership team was able to meet with Al Frank, a representative from the Evangelical Free Church of America, to learn more about the denomination. Now it is your turn!
Sunday, June 29, 6:30 p.m. at New Life Church We invite you to participate in a Question & Answer session with Al about the EFCA. He will explain their roots and mission, and give us a clearer picture of what a partnership with them would look like. Please come with an open mind and open heart, but also prepared with the questions that need to be asked. Feel free to review the EFCA website beforehand. As a leadership team, we very much want to hear from the congregation on this matter. Please pray for the team, and for the congregation to hear God’s call for New Life Church clearly. In other news… Please take a few minutes to view the New Life Church website at www.newlifechurchmo.org. The site will continue to be updated with information and will be a great resource to our congregation and to the public. We're also on Facebook!
