Baptisms
Sunday 29th June
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.
Registrations are closed for this Sunday’s baptism service, but if you would like to be baptised, click the button below to register for our next baptism service on Sunday 21st September.

Monday Night Prayer
Returning on 14th July
5:30pm Monday Evenings
Lounges, Palmerston North location
We are diving back into Monday Night Prayer for 2025 with a powerful time of worship and ministry.
We love being able to gather together to invest time in the presence of God and to passionately pray. Everyone is invited!
This will be taking place each Monday from 5:30pm for approximately an hour, except for public and school holidays.
Life Business
7pm, Thursday 17th July
Lounges, Palmerston North location
Life Business is a relaxed gathering of like-minded people who want to grow, share ideas, and learn from each other’s journeys — in business and in life.
No two sessions are the same. Sometimes we host a guest speaker, explore a key topic, or offer feedback on someone’s idea or plan. At our next gathering, a young enterprising woman will be sharing her business challenge — and we’ll have the chance to offer encouragement, insight, and practical support.

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.

Next Steps
17h, 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!
