New U is a series of classes that help you to go from an unconnected attender or new believer here at New Life to a fully connected and serving and equipped member of our church. Completing these classes is a great way to join us in our vision of glorifying Jesus Christ, increasing God’s word, and multiplying disciples.
Class 101 is the basic introduction to our church family and is designed to clearly explain who and what our church is. This class covers Our Salvation, Our Statements, Our Strategy, & Our Structure. You will hear the history of New Life Church, learn our purpose, mission, and values, and learn about God’s desires and purposes for your own life. In this class you will have the opportunity to confess and/or confirm your faith in Jesus Christ, commit to being baptized, and become a member of New Life Church. This class is suggested for anyone at New Life who is unfamiliar with our vision and mission or who is looking to define the basics of what it means to be a Christian. At the end of Class 101 you will have the opportunity to fill out, sign, and submit the Membership Application or wait until another time.

These lessons will teach you to overcome your fears by using a proven, powerfully effective way to make the gospel make sense. You won't be at a loss for words. You don't need to be an expert in apologetics. Instead, you'll learn the forgotten biblical principle of bypassing the intellect (the place of argument) and speaking directly to the conscience (the place of the knowledge of right and wrong) - the way Jesus did.
Using a captivating teaching style, Kirk and Ray not only tell you how to witness, they show you, through fascinating on-the-street conversations with gang members, atheists, cult members, intellectuals, etc.
