The Acts 2 Journey

 

In 2016, New Life joined other SoCal Network churches to embark in a full year-long Acts 2 Journey.

  

During that time, the New Life "A-Team" (aka Acts 2 Journey Team) wrote down an honest evaluation of where New Life was, where they want to go and how the Holy Spirit will lead them there. 

 

The Team developed New Life's Core Values, finalized their Mission, strengthened their Vision Statement, and worked out a two-year plan moving forward.

The Acts 2 Journey focused on Chapter 2 of the Book of Acts in the New Testament

(specifically Acts 2:42-47)

 

"They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles. All the believers were together and had everything in common."

 

"Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those were being saved."

  • the great commandment

    “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ 


    This is the greatest and most important commandment. 

    The second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as you love yourself.’


  • the great commission

    "Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

  • what's

    next

    New Life has been getting ready to make every member, a disciple of our Lord Jesus Christ. 

    Give New Life one year, so you can go through the Acts 2 Journey yourself and see where the Lord will take you. 

    "Life Happens... 

    Let it happen at

    New Life." 

Time of the Pandemic

In 2020 and all throughout the time of the pandemic, New Life like all other churches were locked down and services were done online.


Today there is still a Sunday morning service live online through Facebook Live. Those who cannot make it to the church facilities have the option to attend the live online services.


Regular Sunday In service morning meetings follow shortly. 


For the three years of the pandemic, the leadership and admin staff of New Life have constantly prayed and sought guidance from the Lord as far as how the direction of the church should go. Members who had to shelter in place are finally able to come back to the in service meetings and slowly but surely a new church mission and vision is finally taking place.


Through it all, God has always been faithful. To God be all the glory.
