The Lord has instructed to serve the body, to carry each other's burdens, to minister and love one another.  We are all ministers and these teams are the "sharing" part of our body.  Take a look at all the ways you can serve and if you think you have the gifts to support the body at New Life, contact Pastor Dan.

  • benevolence team

    Leader: Jimmy Moore


    There are always needs within the body and we want to help in times of wanting. Food needs, utilities, or just making ends meet can be tough sometimes and others need just a little help. Unfortunately, we don't have unlimited funds, so it is the members of our Benevolence Team that must assess the needs and distribute accordingly. If you are good with money and high on mercy gifts, this may be where you can serve. Contact Pastor Dan and see where you can help.

  • in home & hospital & jail visitations

    The Lord has told us in the Bible that if we visit and take care the sick or those in jail, we have done it for Him. (Matt. 25)  We're all connected but sometimes circumstances prevent us from being together which can make someone feel isolated and alone.


    Our team of individuals visit those who cannot come to the church, who are ill or lonely and shares the love of Christ.  If you have compassion for those in need and would take time to visit them, please contact Pastor Dan and join this loving team.
