Membership Classes

Becoming a member of New Life Church is exciting! We ask each new member to attend our 'Discovering New Life' class. This class is held throughout the year, both in a series of four Sunday mornings classes and as one Saturday morning class. 'Discovering New Life' doubles as both our membership class and as the first step in our Leadership Training Series.

Discovering New Life
In 'Discovering New Life' we search out the core beliefs of New Life Church. Several topics covered in this class include: Understanding the Bible as Trustworthy and Authoritative, Salvation, Water Baptism, The Baptism of the Holy Spirit, and a brief history of New Life Church.



Leadership Series

We ask those desiring to serve in any capacity of leadership to complete our Leadership Series. This Leadership Series includes 'Discovering New Life', as well as two other classes, and two retreats.

Discovering Discipleship
This class discusses such topics as New Life as a cell-based church, and the importance of conquering such personal issues as unforgiveness, bitterness, soul ties, and generational curses.  It also instructs on the expectations of those in leadership, and discusses faith, studying the Bible, and spiritual warfare.

Discovering Leadership
'Discovering Leadership' instructs what it means to live in community, as well as being outward focused, and winning the lost in this day and age.  This class goes further into our personal development, dealing with issues like prayer, worship, character, and values.


Encounter Retreat
The Encounter Retreat has two sessions, Friday night and Saturday morning.  On Friday night, the focus is on encountering the power of Christ in breaking any generational curses or areas of bondage.  Saturday morning, participants take an inventory test in order to identify areas where we might need to be set free.  Afterwards, each attendee is instructed through a prayer of renunciation; thereby spiritually breaking any ties with these areas identified in the earlier session.

Champion's Retreat
The Champion's Retreat has two sessions, Friday night and Saturday morning.  Friday night, attendees share a meal, particpate in worship, and receive teaching on what it means to be a godly leader.  Saturday morning consists of the current Leadership Staff praying over and laying hands on each new leader, asking God to impart His anointing upon them.  It is truly a powerful time!
