Our Vision
New Life exists to model the New Testament church in all of it’s actions and behavior. We seek to be multi-cultural, multi-generational, healthy, spirit-filled Christ followers here to serve the city of Monticello, the city of Dermott and Southeast Arkansas.
Serve God
At New Life we believe that our core purpose in life is to serve God. In everything we do we do it as unto the Lord. So whether it’s work or play we do it as an act of worship to God. This leads us to the great commandment of Jesus which is to serve God with all of our heart, soul and mind.
Love People
Jesus told the disciples they will know you are my disciples by the way you love one another. When Jesus gave the great commandment, he said and the second is like it. You must love your neighbor as you love yourself. This drives our vision of loving people at New Life.
Change the World
When we live a life of serving God and loving people the product of that is changing the world. When we are serving and loving we have a heart for lost people, we cannot stand for injustice and this leads us to action. Jesus called his church to be a movement that changes the world.
OUR MISSION
To be a New Testament church in belief and behavior.
THE BELIEF
37 Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’40 On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”
-Matthew 22:37-40
THE BEHAVIOR
18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.
-Matthew 28:18-20
NEXT STEPS
We would love for you plan a visit to a worship service! We have a service for everyone. New Life Nursery and New Life Kids all have an age appropriate service while the adults are being ministered to and challenged by Pastor. Join us today!
The next step once you’ve given your life to Jesus Christ is water baptism. Even in this time of physical distancing if you’ve given your life to Jesus you need to be baptized in water. We have baptisms once a quarter during New Life Nights the last Sunday night of the month.
One of our core values here at New Life is to Make Disciples and part of our model as a church is to help you grow. We have connect classes for everyone. During this time of physical distancing we are meeting through apps like zoom and Facebook Live and Facebook Messenger. Please contact us to find a group for you.
New Life Journey is a class where we share with you the heart and vision of New Life. We get to know your story and help you get plugged into the church family. We share what it means to be in covenant with a church and help you get connected through serving.
When you have decided to make New Life your home church your first step should be New Life Journey. Once you have been through New Life Journey it is our hope that you find an area of ministry to serve. No matter what your gifts are we have an opportunity for you to serve. You won’t be locked into one area forever but we do ask that you make a six month commitment to serve. Click on the image or serve link to find out more.
