Next Steps

17th, 24th, 31st August

Are you new, or want to find out more about who we are at New Life? If so, then Next Steps is for you.

Many people attend a church, but there is a big difference compared to actually belonging to a church. Our heart is to help you take intentional steps in your faith and to turn a House filled with people into a home that is so much more like family.

Also, if you have joined New Life in the last few months and want to start serving — this is how you make a step towards that!

Nations Day

Sunday 17th August

Nations Day is coming up and it's always one of our favourite Sundays at New Life. We love celebrating the different cultures that make up our church! Come dressed in your nation's cultural dress or the dress of a nation you love.

Our shared lunch will be happening after the 10am service in Feilding and after the 11am service in Palmerston North. If you attend the 9am service, feel free to come back and join us for lunch at 12:45pm!

Women’s Event

Saturday 23rd August
Doors open at 6:30pm, $5pp

We’re so excited to invite you to our upcoming New Life Women’s Event — a special evening of connection, worship, powerful conversation, and ministry.

We’ll be joined by Pastor Riana Po'ese from Arise Church as we gather around the theme of living and leading from a place of faith, not fear.

This night is going to stir your faith and speak straight to your heart — we know it will bless you. So mark your calendars, bring a friend, and come expectant!

Sunday 31st August

Child Dedications

At New Life, we see child dedication as a meaningful and impactful moment for both the child, their parents, and for the whole church.
  
Psalm 78:4 — We will not hide these truths from our children; we will tell the next generation about the glorious deeds of the Lord, about his power and his mighty wonders.

This dedication marks the beginning of a journey, as parents take on the sacred responsibility of guiding their child in the ways of the Lord.

Men's Event

Saturday 13th September

A night to encourage and support each other and continue to build strength in the men of New Life. 

Mark the date on your calendar and invite a mate to come along for a great evening — we would love to see you there!

Combined Service

With Pastor Tak Bhana
Sunday 14th September

We have the pleasure of having Pastor Tak Bhana back with us in September!

Our two locations are joining together once again in Palmerston North with services at 9am and 11am.

We are expectant for what is going to be imparted into each person's life.

Baptisms

Sunday 14th September

Baptism is more than a symbol — it’s a declaration of your new identity in Jesus.

When you’re baptised, you’re publicly saying, My old life is gone, and I now belong to Christ.” It’s a powerful picture of what God has already done in your heart — washing away the past and raising you into a new life of purpose, hope, and freedom.

Jesus Himself was baptised, and He invites every believer to follow in His footsteps. Whether you’ve been walking with Him for years or just made the decision to follow, baptism is a bold step of obedience — showing the world that you have been made new.

If you would like to be baptised, click the button below to register and one of our Pastors will be in touch.
