Our Ministries

The arms and legs of NLCF are found within the many auxiliary ministries. It is here that we learn to grow together in discipleship, fellowship, and service.

New Members/Discipleship is a fellowship designed for new members to gain additional insight into the mission of New Life Christian Fellowship and what it means to live a life of fullness in Christ. In this interactive setting, participants learn the groundwork pertaining to salvation, water baptism, baptism in the Holy Spirit, praise and worship, tithing, and utilizing one’s gifts to serve God.

M.M.O.V.(Mighty Men of Valor) Seeks to meet the spiritual and unique emotional needs of men through fellowship, practical teachings, and open discussions. Men are encouraged to pray for one another and develop trusting relationships as they meet.

W.I.S.E. Women (Walking In Spiritual Excellence) In harmony with the Ministry Theme – “We Grow To Change,” we encourage women to present their body and their life before the Lord. As we present ourselves (spirit, soul and body) to God, he will change our lives for His Glory. God values women and He has had a destiny for our lives from the beginning of time. He wants us to proceed in our development in a creative, relevant and enjoyable way. Our job is to embrace the journey!

Children’s Church services the ministry needs of children between the ages of two through twelve years old. Children participate in praise and worship, prayer, and thematic teaching. The Word of God is ministered at their level through song, skits, role-playing, videos, and other creative methods. Emphasis is on developing a relationship with God.

Young Men to Young Men ages 12 to 19 come together in an informal setting to play ball, video games, fellowship and talk about the reality of serving God without being perceived as a punk.

A.F.B. (Appointed From Birth) Youth are challenged to walk out their purposes in God, which was established before the foundation of the world through interactive games, discussions, and teen summits keep to step with the pulse of the culture without compromise. This offers our youth relevant Biblical teaching necessary to renew their minds. AFB is committed to instruct our youth how to live in the world without being of the world.
