ADVENT-ures

Join us as we celebrate the season of Advent with ADVENT-ures, our church tradition of sharing the light, hope, and peace of Jesus with the world around us! This season offers many opportunities to draw near to one another, just as Jesus drew near to us, and to share His love in meaningful ways. Our ADVENT-ures this year include: donations of undergarments, socks, and coats for those in need, The Christmas Missions Market, and connection and outreach opportunities within our church and community. Together, let’s let the love of Christ shine brightly in us and through us this Advent

Baptism Class

Baptism is an important part of each person’s faith story. It is an outward sign—a step of obedience—taken by a disciple of Jesus Christ. If you are interested in receiving the sacrament of baptism here at New Life Fellowship, taking our baptism class is the first step. This class is suitable for middle and high school students as well as adults.

Spiritual Gifts Workshop

How does the Holy Spirit work through the gifts God has given us—and how do we recognize them? As a Christian, you’ve been entrusted with spiritual gifts meant to shape your life and bless others. In this interactive workshop, you’ll explore the gifts the Holy Spirit has placed within you and learn practical ways to use them at New Life. Through reflection, discussion, and guided exercises, you’ll leave with greater clarity about your purpose and calling. This time of learning and discernment will be led by Pastor Sherin Swift.
