New Life Church: Jubilee Year of Supernatural Provision, Growth, and Trusting in God

We are fully stepping into our Jubilee year at New Life Church! As we bid farewell to 2023 and embrace the opportunities of the new year, the excitement within our church community is growing. This year, we celebrate a monumental milestone – our 50th year as a church! Brace yourselves for a year filled with supernatural provision, freedom, restoration, and victories over every challenge or assault thrown our way. There is much for us to celebrate and there is much for us to anticipate!

Baptism Explosion and Contagious Passion:

In 2023, we were blessed to witness almost 30 baptisms! There is a Jesus-passion explosion within our church. The contagious hunger to know and love Him more has ignited zeal for the Lord. I am sure you have felt it too. We are seeing measurable growth and influence and our church is truly becoming a beacon, drawing in precious people from all walks of life. We are encountering Jesus’ presence and love in life-changing ways together.

Building the Future: A Pressing Need in our Jubilee Vision:

Our vision to Build the Future is not merely a good idea; it's a pressing need. The growth in our student ministries has been substantial. We recently had to transform our conference room into a classroom. The number of Jr. High students has nearly doubled in number, and we need separate spaces for Jr. High and Sr. High. We are literally hitting the limits of our facilities. But this is a good problem to have! God's guidance, spoken through you and our elders two years ago, prepared us for this very moment. You can read about it here. We're now halfway to our one million dollar goal, and as we continue on in our Jubilee year, we CHOOSE to trust God’s leading, believing the other half will come through His miraculous provision.

The Power of Choices: Trusting in God's Provision:

Our choices hold immense power, a principle consistently emphasized in the Bible. Prioritizing God and trusting Him has tremendous impact on our well-being. Jesus' teachings remind us not to worry about life's needs but to seek God first, trusting that He will provide. (Matthew 6.33-34) As we trust God and express our trust in Him through giving our time, tithe, and talents, we become a source of blessing for others. As we sacrificially give to Build the Future, we bless future generations of New Life. Let’s choose to grow in this throughout the year, operating in an elevated level of faith and trust in God.

As we step into 2024, let's embrace the Jubilee year with anticipation and trust in God's richest blessings over our homes and families. Together, we are building a future marked by supernatural provision, growth, and an unwavering trust in the One who knows our needs. Here's to a year of jubilant victories and continued faithfulness!
