Chae Cho will be serving as our new director of children’s ministry beginning in January. The team leaders and I have been thinking and praying for the past five months to seek God’s will to know who should be the person and we unanimously sensed that it needs to be Chae. Two things helped us in discerning God’s will. First, we strongly felt that it would be for church’s best interest to find this person from within our congregation. New Life is founded upon house church ministry. There are some unique things that we do that other typical/traditional churches don’t do. We are not driven by programs. Instead, we are focused on saving ...

We have two one-on-one Bible studies that we ask every New Life member to go through as part of his growth in Christ. They are “Beginning the Journey” and “The Arrival Kit”.

We don’t go through them with unbelievers because they are written for believers who are part of house church ministry. Going through these Bible study materials is a privilege and blessing ...

God’s work can’t be done by one individual. It must be done together as a team called church. In any church, there are leaders and followers who are established and given by God to serve one another to fulfill God’s kingdom work.

And God is our ultimate good, the ultimate treasure. Therefore, a leader is ...

Dear NLF, Psalm 150:6 proclaims, “Let everything that has breath praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!” I have had the upmost honor and privilege of living out this Scripture by serving on the praise team for the past five years. And I have served, for the past four years, as the Magnification team leader alongside great men of faith, humility, integrity, character, and love for NLF. It truly has been a tremendous blessing in my life as I’ve served alongside dedicated and faithful servant-leaders on the Magnification team. Everyone serving on the team treasures the opportunity we have to lead our fellow NLF brothers and sisters into a time of ...
