Sunday 18th October

We are so thankful that so many people have decided to make New Life their home over the last few months. If that is you — welcome!

We would love to do everything we can to make the church you attend feel more like a home you belong to. To help make this a reality, every term we host a lunch so that the team can meet you in person. It is also a great chance to answer any of your questions about who we are and how you can get connected.

If this is you (or you know someone who should come along), please register below

Monday Night Prayer is a powerful time of worship, prayer and ministry together. We love being able to gather together to invest time in the presence of God and to passionately pray. Everyone is invited to be a part of the engine room of the church.

This will be taking place on Mondays fortnightly from 6pm for approximately an hour (except for public and school holidays).

Five Week Course

Got questions about life, faith or God?
You're not alone.

Alpha is a series of relaxed, interactive sessions where you can explore the Christian faith in a safe, friendly environment. Each week you'll enjoy great conversation, watch a short video exploring a different topic, and have the opportunity to ask questions and share your thoughts—without any pressure or expectation.

Whether you're new to church, exploring Christianity for the first time, or simply curious, Alpha is for you. Everyone is welcome, and no question is off limits.

Register yourselves below to discover more about life, faith and Jesus together.

We’re looking forward to meeting you!

Our final New Life Women gathering of the year is coming, and we have such a special night planned.

Think worship, the Word, prayer, connection, beautiful desserts, iced matcha, a few surprises... and a whole room full of women ready to seek Jesus together.

Pastor Sophie will be sharing around what it looks like to live and serve God wholeheartedly - bringing Him our whole lives and giving our best to whatever He has placed in our hands.

So gather your friends, invite the women in your world and make a night of it.

At New Life, child dedication is a beautiful celebration where parents publicly commit to raising their child in the ways of the Lord, and our church family pledges to walk alongside you.

Dedicating a child doesn't impart salvation, but it is a powerful declaration of intention, rooted in Scripture and so meaningful for us as a church community. Every child is a gift from God, and this marks the beginning of an intentional journey together.

Click the link below to register your child to be dedicated.

Sunday 22nd November

Sunday 29th November

Baptism is a public declaration of your faith in Jesus. It is the next step after making a decision to follow Jesus, who was even baptised before he began his ministry. This shows us how important it was to him and, therefore how important it should be to us.

If you've never been baptised, we'd love to celebrate this step with you. Click the link below to register, and one of our Pastors will be in touch with you.
