This is more than a building project; it’s a faith journey. Together, we can eliminate debt, raise the necessary funds, and create spaces where lives are transformed for generations to come.

We invite every member of the New Life Church family to prayerfully consider how they can contribute. Whether through financial support, volunteering, or sharing this vision, your participation will make a lasting impact.

God is calling us to step forward in faith with wisdom and prepare for the growth He is bringing to New Life Church. By expanding our facilities, we are creating room for His work in our congregation, community, and beyond. Together, let’s build for the future, trusting that He who began a good work in us will carry it to completion.

“Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain.” – Psalm 127:1
