2018ANNUALREPORTOur mission is to reach our state with the life-giving message of Jesus, to see our friends and family become fully devoted followers of Christ.

Every January, we pray and fast as a church to dedicate our year to God. As we set our focus on Him, we invite His Spirit to work in our lives and through our church.

And as each year closes out, it's with great expectation that we collect data and information to see what God accomplished in our church. Our annual report is a celebration of His faithfulness and answered prayers.

Every number represents a person, and every person is a soul God is reaching.

Thank you for everything you do to invest in our church. We are believing that 2019 will be a year of genuine growth, favor, and miracles in the family of New Life—even the ones who aren’t here yet!

We are continuing to see the hope of Jesus reach the state of Arkansas. Please continue in praying for and investing in our church and your community.

We love you, New Life!

"I’ve made a journey from absolute darkness to complete recovery. I know without a doubt that God stayed with me and never left my side during that long, dark battle. I am filled with joy and gratitude to my family and friends who encouraged me, and especially grateful to my Savior, Jesus! All praise to God my Father who brought me out of darkness into His light!"

God is building a home. He’s using us all—irrespective of how we got here—in what he is building. We see it taking shape day after day—a holy temple built by God, all of us built into it, a

temple in which God is quite at home.

Ephesians 2:19-22

“As I walked through the doors at New Life, my mind was at peace. I couldn't believe the relief. After service my husband took me up to the leaders to be prayed over. I praise God and thank Him every time I walk into church with His people. I thank Him for the love of the leadership at NLC, because they reached out and God used them to bring me back. He did a powerful work in my life!”
