MISSIONS
Sharing the New Life - to the ends of the earth
Our mission has always been simple: to share, grow, and live the new life of Jesus Christ with the world — one person at a time. That last phrase, with the world, has been at the heart of New Life from the very beginning. The new life we’ve found in Christ was never meant to stay within our walls. It was meant to go.
Jesus left His followers with a clear calling: “Go and make disciples of all nations.” Missions is how we say yes to that calling — not just across our own community, but across cities, cultures, and continents. We believe the same good news that changed our lives is meant for every person, in every place.
Our Mission Partners
We’re honored to come alongside men and women who have given their lives to take the gospel where it’s needed most. We call them our mission partners because that’s exactly what they are — partners in the work God has called all of us to. Some serve right here at home; others have moved across the world. We support them through prayer, payment (giving), and presence, and we’d love for you to know them, pray for them, and partner with them too.
Below you’ll find each of our mission partners and ways you can connect with and support their work.
