A NOTE FROM JON...
NEW LIFE FAMILY,
I believe God has given New Life Church a unique mission to “awaken the spiritually disengaged to
a vibrant life journey with Jesus Christ and others.” For more than 35 years, God has blessed and
used this special place to share the love of Jesus and encourage His disciples.
The history of New Life Church is much like the early Church in the Book of Acts. It is a journey of
faithful obedience, sacrificial financial giving, and outstanding volunteerism. The facility we worship
in today is a result of those who forged ahead and believed God for His provision and direction. God
is stirring us again to believe in Him for the miraculous, and He is moving us ONWARD.
ONWARD to reach further, deeper, and higher than ever before. To continue New Life Church’s
strength of reaching unchurched families in our area, I am introducing a plan titled “ONWARD”,
which is a major renovation of the kid’s area making it more secure and a more kid appropriate
environment where kids can learn about and meet with God.
Join us in the journey ONWARD as we prepare to continue the mission of reaching our community
with the message of Jesus Christ, the Hope of the World.
Thank
you,
JON LAWSON Lead Pastor
