FAQ’s

What Is a Community Church?

New Life Community Church is a non-denominational fellowship that welcomes people from all backgrounds. We strive to be a God-honoring, Bible-based, outreach-oriented community of believers, dependent on the Holy Spirit as we experience together the life of Jesus Christ.

The word “community” reflects our shared life in Christ—a common love for the Lord and a desire to share His love with others. We treasure His Word, His work, and His workmanship in His people.

Is New Life Connected to Other Churches with the Same Name?

No, we are not officially affiliated with other churches named “New Life.” However, we share with many the core value of the “new life” in Christ and the authentic community it brings. Locally, we are connected with other Christ-centered, Bible-believing churches in the Concord-Acton-Maynard area. Our pastors pray together monthly and offer one another mutual encouragement and accountability.

What Programs Do You Offer for Children and Teens?

We offer Sunday morning classes from toddlers through high school, including a nursery with a private nursing area for mothers. You can learn more about our children’s ministry on our Children – New Life Community Church page.

Are There Programs for Families?

Absolutely! We encourage family connection and growth through:

  • Mom-to-Mom groups and prayer fellowships for mothers

  • Frequent Outreach events that we encourage families to participate in together

  • A weekly men’s group focused on biblical manhood

  • New Life Fine Arts Productions: Families can serve together in our gospel-centered theater ministry—on stage, backstage, in set construction, hospitality, or prayer teams. Each production is an opportunity to declare God’s redemptive story to our wider community.

What Is Your Statement of Faith?

We have a well-defined statement of belief that reflects our biblical convictions. [Articles of Faith – New Life Community Church].

What Role Does the Theater Ministry Play?

Our New Life Fine Arts ministry is a vibrant outreach tool. Through musical theater productions, we communicate the message of God’s love using the compelling languages of story and song. These productions engage the wider community and offer church members a creative way to express and declare the gospel.

Does New Life Have Its Own Building?

Yes! In 2018, we moved into our New Life Ministry Center on Baker Avenue in Concord. This multi-purpose facility serves as a sanctuary, classroom space, and community outreach center. We also have future plans to expand with a larger auditorium.

Do You Baptize Babies?

We do not baptize infants. Instead, we offer baby dedications, where parents publicly commit to raising their children in the ways of the Lord. The congregation joins in support and prayer.

How Do I Become a Member?

Membership begins with attending our “Discovery Days” orientation class, where you’ll learn more about our mission, ministries, and your unique role in the body of Christ. Anyone pursuing membership must:

  • Acknowledge personal sin (Romans 3:23)

  • Believe in Christ’s death and resurrection for salvation (Romans 10:9, 6:23)

  • Trust in Jesus by repenting, accepting His forgiveness, and being baptized (Acts 2:38)

Do I Need to Be Baptized Again to Join?

If you have previously received Christ and were baptized by immersion, no need to be baptized again. However, some choose to do so if they feel their first baptism lacked personal understanding or intent.

How Can I Get Involved?

There are many opportunities! From music and tech teams to children’s ministry, small groups, hospitality, and outreach, there’s a place for everyone. See the bulletin board in the lobby or subscribe to our newsletter to learn more.

Does New Life Offer Counseling?

We do not provide long-term counseling. However, our leaders offer biblical guidance and spiritual mentoring, including:

  • Pre-marital counseling

  • Focus groups for specific life issues

  • Discipleship 101, our mentoring and spiritual growth program

Do You Have a Prayer Ministry?

Yes! Prayer is central to everything we do. We host:

  • Morning prayer meetings

  • Monthly prayer gatherings

  • Prayer support via email, phone, and Sunday communication cards
