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. 

Proverbs 4:23 says “Be careful how you think; your life is shaped by your thoughts.” Are your thoughts building you and others up or tearing you and others down? Are they drawing you closer to God or pulling you away? In this video series by Kyle Idleman, we will explore the battle for our minds so that we might take every thought captive and submit it to the truth of God’s Word.
