Community Groups

At NewLife, we recognize the importance of community in our walk with Jesus. Community Groups are gospel-centered environments where people can connect, serve, grow, and be transformed by the Gospel of Christ. Below is a list of groups that are currently running at NewLife. If you are interested in any of the following Community Groups, please sign up by visiting our online signup page, or contact the group leader. If you would like more information about any of the following Community Groups, or future Community Groups, please speak to one of the elders or contact us. 

This is an opportunity for mid-week fellowship where we will spend a portion of the time sharing what God is teaching us through Sunday’s Colossians sermon series. The rest of the hour, we will go through a video/discussion series by Louie Giglio on the same book. The videos are 15 min or less, with a correlating handout which contains study questions, memory verse, etc. to help us further engage with God and His word.
