What if I showed up at New Life Church?
Parking
There is ample parking on site and you may park where you wish. Handicap parking is available in front of the building, with single level entrance. We have parking lot people monitoring the lot during the service for your peace of mind. There are various entrances into the building and as you become familiar with the facility you are welcome to use any of them. If you are new to the place it may be most convenient to enter through the center front entrance. There someone will greet you and can help you with further directions around the building.
Children
Little ones from birth to age 4 can be brought downstairs before the service begins for Mini-Lights (0-24 months) or Little Lights (ages 2-4). A registration booth is in the fellowship hall just past the nursery doors. Inquire there about further instructions and receiving ID tags for your children.
If you have children (Kindergarten to Grade 4) you may wish to register them for Kidschurch. The registration booth will be to your right as you enter the building. Children will be with you for the first part of the worship service in the main auditorium. Ask about instructions for dismissal to Kidschurch which will be announced in the middle of the service.
The Worship Service
As you enter the auditorium ushers can give you a church bulletin with information on various ministries and can help you with seating, if you wish. Sit wherever you will be comfortable. Entrances to the balcony are to the far right and left of the front lobby, just follow the stairs. The atmosphere is casual so you may wish to talk with those around you or move around a bit.
A worship leader will begin the service promptly at 10am, usually with a music team. Up till then the auditorium will be busy with people chatting and connecting. During the singing feel free to join in or simply listen. You will see a variety of expressions as the gathering of people worship God. Most remain standing throughout the music time. Some will raise hands, clap, or dance. And children will wave flags up front.
At some point (usually after about 20 minutes of music) there may be announcements, kids are dismissed and you may be invited to say hello to others. Participate as you feel comfortable. An offering will be taken around this time. If you are a guest we only expect you to fill in a communication card (available at your seat) and deposit it in the basket as it goes by. If you wish to contribute money you may use an envelope (also available at your seat) so that we can receipt you for the donation.
The next part of the service is dedicated to teaching. This comes in the form of a pastor or invited guest to share a message of encouragement and challenge from the Bible, punctuated with engaging stories, for around 30 minutes. Then the band usually returns for some closing songs of worship. Sometimes the time ends with an opportunity for people to respond to the message by coming to the front and receiving prayer as requested. In any case you will be dismissed to pick up children or to meet other people. Coffee and tea is served in the back of the auditorium on the main floor. Help yourself to some as you wonder around throughout the auditorium or lobby.
