Local Outreach
Everywhere, Everyone, Everyday.
Local Outreach
The heart behind local outreach at New Life is to train up people that live outreach by extending the love of Jesus to those we encounter on a daily basis. We will sometimes plan large events to bring the gospel together to the community, but our hope is that we all become lights to our community and be a giver of the gospel every day.
Hope for the Local Community
The Storehouse
It is our mission to be a lighthouse of hope for the local community to access during leaner times. A Storehouse building filled with practical resources (clothing, furniture, household items, etc.) to access and freely give to the community as needs arise.
