Guests arriving for a Sunday service at New Life Church

COME AS YOU ARE

You don’t need to know the songs, have the right clothes, or have your life figured out before you walk through the doors. Wherever you are coming from and whatever your story looks like, there is room for you here. You aren’t just welcome, you are wanted here.

HERE’S WHAT TO EXPECT

Sundays at New Life Church are relaxed, welcoming, and centered on Jesus. We’ll worship together, open the Bible, and make space to respond to what God is doing. Services last about an hour, and no one is going to single you out or put you on the spot. Come in, grab some coffee, and make yourself at home.

YOU ARE INVITED TO JOIN US AT NEW LIFE.

I don’t know what your church experience has been like in the past. Maybe it’s been a minute since you’ve been in a church building. Maybe you’ve been hurt or have just drifted from faith. It’s ok, we’ve all been there. Here is what I know is true. God is a God of second chances. We are not a perfect church and don’t pretend to be, but there is a place for you to experience God afresh here. It doesn’t matter what you wear or what you’ve done… just come as you are. We really mean that. You are welcome and wanted here. I believe God’s heart is for you and that He has been pursuing you. We would love to have you at New Life.

NEW HERE?

Lunch is on us.

WE WOULD LOVE TO GET TO KNOW YOU.

Newcomer’s Lunch is a relaxed, informal lunch where you can meet some of our pastors and leaders, get to know other people at New Life, ask questions, and discover a next step that makes sense for you.

There’s no long presentation and no pressure. Just good food, real conversation, and a chance for us to hear a little of your story too.

A PLACE WHERE YOU CAN GROW

Since New Life was planted by Kentwood Community Church in 2011, we have been a place where people encounter the love and mercy of Jesus. We believe Jesus is still making all things new, and we want to be a place where you can become more fully alive in Him.

In 2019, New Life joined the Zero Collective, a network of West Michigan churches united around one bold vision: ZERO people living unchanged by Jesus. Together, we are pursuing five cultural markers:

  • ZERO needs among us
  • ZERO lost people
  • ZERO unconnected people
  • ZERO gods before God
  • ZERO unfulfilled callings
