About New Life International

New Life Christian Fellowship International (NLCFI) is a mentoring fellowship for leaders and ministries. It is designed as a place to meet and build relationship. It is our desire to provide a network for leaders to gain insight, build relationship, and learn as they grow in ministry.

NLCFI is a place where you decide the level of relationship you desire. The monthly meetings are open to the public and there is no fee or application process required. NLCFI also offers ministerial credentials in the form of Ministerial Apprentice, Ministerial License, and Ordination. In addition, there are three levels of relationship available for those who would like a connection and covering for their ministry: Friendship Member, Cooperative Member, and Associate / Sister Member. Applications and information for these are available online.

Mission Statement

New Life Christian Fellowship International exists for the sole purpose of providing apostolic oversight through a Presbytery Council and relationship to churches, para-church organizations, and ministers (five-fold ministry gifts) in fulfilling the call of God on their ministries.

Vision Statement

New Life Christian Fellowship International (hereinafter referred to as “NLCFI”) dedicates itself to move within the current flow of the Holy Spirit for our day, while maintaining scriptural integrity. NLCFI will provide apostolic oversight through a Presbytery Council. NLCFI provides the opportunity to build relationships to edify and equip other ministers and churches in their individual, unique call and purpose.
NLCFI’s goal is to provide:

• The ability to apply for ordination, licensing, or ministerial apprentice credentials. Church affiliation is not a requirement to receive ministerial credentials through NLCFI.
• The ability to enter a church or ministry into relationship through the following levels:
  • Friendship Membership – This entry level of membership is open to those of other denominations. This name is non-threatening for those of other denominations who wish to be in affiliation with New Life. This level can be churches or individual ministers.
  • Cooperative Membership – NLCFI identifies with these ministries, but does not have a responsibility to them. If requested, input may be provided by NLCFI to their ministry.
  • Associate Membership / Sister Church – Authority should be given on both sides of this level. We would have input and ability to correct, and allow use of our logo and name as being in relationship with us. The ministry must be willing to have one or more of the Presbyters or an Ordained Minister who has been with NLCFI for three or more years on their Board of Directors. They would be required to submit an annual report that will include a financial report, corporate report, and a Pastor’s report (including spiritual and social conditions of the church).
• Monthly and all-day equipping sessions will be held to address the spiritual and practical aspects of ministry. These mini-conferences will be conducted with pastors and teachers who have shown expertise in their field. These sessions will:
  • Provide a time for fellowship for ministers and their families
  • Provide special sessions for ministers’ wives
  • Provide a time for special needs to be addressed during the conferences
• Approximately two hours will be set aside each month for individuals to speak with members of the Presbytery for specified counsel and direction.
• Annual three-day conferences for ministers at which nationally recognized speakers will be available.
• Cooperative efforts in the following areas:
  • Youth camps
  • International youth missions trips
  • Inner-city outreaches
  • Youth conferences
  • Evangelism outreaches
  • Worship seminars
