Get Connected in a House Church!


House Churches are designed to be the "engine" of New Life. As a new church we are forming new house churches now with a desire to see them located throughout Greater Lowell. What is a House Church?

House Churches began as the first kind of church that the Bible speaks of. In fact, the only kind of churches that you read about in the Bible are House Churches. These were groups of people of all ages (perhaps 10-50 people depending upon the size of the home) that met together for "the Apostle's teaching, fellowship, the breaking of bread, and prayer" (Acts 2:42). Their churches was simple, meaningful, personal, and practical. They helped one another, ate meals together, prayed together, worshiped together, learned together, laughed together, served together, encouraged one another, invited others, and discovered the simple, yet profound meaning of a church: a family of united believers who love God with all their hearts and love their neighbors as themselves, and personally place their faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord and follow Him day by day.

Therefore House Churches are a great place to seek out and discover faith among caring friends. Everyone in our House Churches are given the opportunity to simply be observers or to participate as you wish. There is no pressure placed on anyone. Just come as you are, relax, bring the kids and discover a return to joyful, homebased Christianity. It's not about following strict agendas and formulas. It's simply about spending time with Christ and one another as we simply focus on L.I.F.E.:

Love....................for God and neighbor
Instruction........... in God's Word
Fellowship........... in God's Church
Evangelism...........in God's World

New Life aims to be a network of these house churches, with people of different races, ages, ethnicities, and backgrounds coming together as a "church without walls". Lord willing, we will be one church with many home congregations. Everything that a church does can happen in a House Church....worship, learning, serving, giving, outreach, caregiving, shepherding, and leadership. Each house church functions as it's own mini-congregation and, linked together as a network, we form a united church family that comes together weekly for united prayer, celebration, and vision.

Each house church will have it own leadership team and will be under the oversight of our Pastor who will be training church leaders and participating in house churches throughout the year. House Churches will have a goal of impacting lives, growing in number, and giving "birth" to new house churches each year.

Tired of being "invisible" in church? Want to be connected in a church where "everyone knows your name". You are invited to begin a new adventure at New Life!
