New Life Church

Life Groups are where "life change" happens at New Life. The best place for sustained life change to occur is within intentional relationships. And the best place for encouraging intentional relationships is in a group.

Because of this, we want everyone to be involved in a group. Life Groups are our primary groups but we have two other opportunities for you to get involved in group life. They are Starting Point and Financial Peace University by Dave Ramsey. For information on these two new opportunities you can click on the following links.

Financial Peace University Starting Point

In our group environments it is our goal that participants pursue and experience authentic community (accountability, belonging, and care) and spiritual growth (fellowship with God, community with others, and influence with those outside the faith). 

Build friendships, enjoy great fellowship, learn how to apply the Bible to everyday life, get encouraged, and much more, by attending a group this week. Call 864-639-4116 for more information or sign-up below and someone will contact you according to your interest.

Our Life Groups run on a semester calendar. The fall semester starts the week of October 3rd. Sign-ups begin the week of September 5th. More information will be available as we get closer to the sign-up period.

Below are examples of the groups we had in the spring.

How important is holiness to you? How much thoughts, attention, and effort do you devote to the pursuit of holiness? Is it your priority to be holy? Nancy Leigh DeMoss teaches that we must make it our constant, conscious ambition and aim to be holy. Just as an athlete sets his sight on winning an Olympic gold medal, so we as believers must focus on the pursuit of holiness. Do you long for an authentic faith? Are you eager to know your heavenly Father in a more intimate way? Learn how to say 'no' to corruption and 'yes' to grace, and be blessed through living a life of Holiness.
