That is what the Helping Hands ministry is all about - reaching out to those in need. The Helping Hands ministry provides assistance to families inside and outside our church who are going through a challenging time, assistance to other ministries, and other practical assistance as the need arises. Placing your name on our list of "Helping Hands" means you are willing to provide help those in need. Most Helping Hands communications are done via email; however, we will call you via phone if there is a last minute situation. Our hope is that you will prayerfully consider becoming part of this important ministry. At a time when many of us are so busy with work and home, this can be a simple way to do the Lord's work, and make a tough day a little easier for someone. Everybody has a place in Helping Hands! For more information on this ministry or to find out how to sign up email us here.

A lot of churches have made God appear to be irrelevant and completely outdated, but we hope to change that misconception. We understand that visiting a new church can be an intimidating experience. With that in mind, we have done everything we can think of to make your time with us as easy and as relevant to life as possible. New Life is a safe place to...bring your doubts, questions, curiosity, and to take your next step spiritually. From the moment you pull into the parking lot, it is our desire for you to see friendly faces and people just like you that are discovering new life in Jesus. When you attend New Life, don’t give a second thought to what you are wearing. We are much more concerned about you, the individual, than we are with what you have on. There’s NO dress code here (but we do ask that you wear SOMETHING!). Just come comfortable and come early to enjoy a great cup of coffee at our Intersection Cafe’. Our goal is simple... we want you to realize that God and church can be a real part of your everyday life. We tackle tough issues head on with truth and practical advice straight from the Bible. And we’ll do it in a language that you can understand. Believe it or not, Jesus didn’t speak in King James English. Instead of an organ and choir, we have a band playing music that sounds like stuff you’ll hear on the radio. The people around you will be from all walks of life and are people who are going through the same highs and lows of life as you are. Children are a HUGE part of New Life and we have created a fun and exciting place where they will love going to church. There is also some great stuff going on for Jr. High and High School students where they can connect, grow, know God, and impact their world. We look forward to seeing you soon!

Children gain a greater knowledge and appreciation of the work of Christ in their lives through the media of stories, games,and arts & crafts. It is our desire for children to fall deeply in love with Jesus and His Word which proclaims him. We want every child to enjoy the learning experience as we teach God's Word.

It is important for the leaders and the children to foster loving and accepting relationships during their time together. To try to make this happen, we offer age appropriate classes during all three services: • Grade 1 & 2 are in Room 110 (outside building) • Grade 3 & 4 are in Room 111 (outside building) • Grade 5 & 6 are in The Children’s Center, Room 108 (outside building) Service times for New Life Kids are @ 8:30am, 10:00am, & 11:30am Each service and each class is going to be a different, but enjoyable time for your child. The trained New Life Kids staff has added their own personality to the class, teaching Biblical truths in a fun and active manner! So, come to one service or to all services to experience a Sunday morning at New Life Christian Center. They’ll be begging to come back! Thu, 15 Oct 2009 13:11:24 MST http://www.newlifecc.com/app/w_page.php?type=section&id=27 http://www.newlifecc.com/app/w_page.php?type=section&id=27&article_id=114 Awana is a Bible-centered ministry with the goal of reaching boys and girls (pre-school through grade 6), and their families, with the Gospel of Jesus Christ and training them to serve Him. Awana is an acronym from 2 Timothy 2:15, "Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed." This enables the Bible teaching to be at a level a young person can understand, receive and apply in an environment of fun and enjoyment. The parents and leaders are excited about the impact this program is having on the children and their lives. The goal of Awana is reached through four distinct parts. First, is Worship with our amazing Awana Band that comes and sings with our children with contemporary music for all to enjoy! Next, is the emphasis on memorization and understanding of key Bible verses during Handbook Time. During Council Time godly, trained leaders encourage and guide clubbers to develop a biblical view of how to know and serve God through conversation and connection. No club night would be complete without the high-energy Game Time. The wild and wacky games offered incorporate both individual and team competition, and unleashes a kid’s natural energy and enthusiasm. This is a fantastic evening that no one should miss; so join us on Wednesdays from 6:00 – 8:00 P.M. Thu, 15 Oct 2009 13:11:24 MST http://www.newlifecc.com/app/w_page.php?type=section&id=27 http://www.newlifecc.com/app/w_page.php?type=section&id=27&article_id=79 Early Childhood: Nursery Every child is special to us, and we count it a privilege to minister to the smallest of children and their parents by providing safe, loving, and quality childcare. We want our members and guests to take ease and enjoy their worship experience as their child is cared for by a quality staff member. Whether a child is a nursing infant or a curious toddler, we aim to meet his or her every need as we begin to introduce the Gospel message. We offer classes at every service. Infants: Room 103, Toddlers: Room 104, 2's: Room 105, and 3's: Room 107. Thu, 15 Oct 2009 13:10:11 MST http://www.newlifecc.com/app/w_page.php?type=section&id=27 http://www.newlifecc.com/app/w_page.php?type=section&id=27&article_id=292 New Life Kids is a children's ministry uniquely designed with your child in mind! Kids, birth through sixth grade, experience safe, age-appropriate environments where the Bible is taught in a creative and relevant way. Join the fun and experience a world where kids meet Jesus on their level! We Value Relationships We desire that each child come to experience a saving relationship with Jesus Christ. We also value our children's relationships within the small group setting as they relate to their small group leader and other children within the group. As families commit to attending the same service each week, children are placed in a group of familiar faces where relationships can grow! We Value Age Appropriateness We are passionate about children learning about Jesus in a way they understand. Our environments and lesson materials are selected based on the physical, mental, and emotional needs of each child. We Value Safety We believe that safety is vital as families entrust us with their children each week. Therefore, every child's nametag is matched to a parent-identification number, every volunteer is screened with an interview, and state and federal background check. We Value Creative Bible Teaching The Bible is the most amazing book ever written! We strive to bring its stories to life through activities and discussions that keep children engaged. We want all children to love God's word and understand the value of applying it to their lives. We Value Fun! Kids love fun! We realize that when children have fun at church, they can't wait to come back. We value creating fun ways for children to learn about Jesus.

It’s hard to be real with 1000 other people. That’s why, while we love celebrating and learning together on Sunday mornings, we appreciate the benefits of meeting together in small groups to connect, build friendships, and grow in our relationship with Jesus Christ. It may seem like we’re just hanging out, but there is no truer church experience than what happens around our coffee tables. You may make a decision to change your life at a weekend service, but the actual process of change happens best in a community of friends. Friends are made in Life Groups. Life Groups are made up of around 10-16 people that meet each week in homes throughout the greater Turlock area. There are three 10-week sessions throughout the year and you can join at any time. Life Groups use a study that takes the Sunday sermon and let’s each group dig deeper and grow. Below are the studies for the current session that you can download. You can sign up for a Life Group here. If you have questions or would like more info, contact Daryl Poppen.

(John 3:16; 2:23; 5:11-13; Rom. 3:23; Rev. 20:15; Matt. 1:8; 2:44, 46)  Wed, 13 Sep 2006 13:44:40 MST http://www.newlifecc.com/app/w_page.php?type=section&id=3 http://www.newlifecc.com/app/w_page.php?type=section&id=3&article_id=37 Salvation is God's free gift to us, but we must accept it. We can never make up for our sin by self-improvement or good works. Only by trusting in Jesus Christ as God's offer of forgiveness can anyone be saved from sin's penalty. When we turn from our self-ruled life and turn to Jesus in faith, we are saved. Eternal life begins the moment one receives Jesus Christ into his life by faith. (Rom. 5:1; 6:23; Eph. 2:8-9; John 1:12; 14:6; Titus 3:5; Gal. 3:26).

People are the supreme object of God's creation. Although every person has tremendous potential for good, all of us are marred by an inborn attitude of disobedience toward God called "sin". This attitude separates people from God and causes many problems in life. (Gen. 1:26-27; Rom. 3:23; Ps. 8:3-6; Is. 53:6a; 59:1-2) Wed, 13 Sep 2006 13:43:45 MST http://www.newlifecc.com/app/w_page.php?type=section&id=3 http://www.newlifecc.com/app/w_page.php?type=section&id=3&article_id=34 Jesus Christ is true God and true man. He was conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He lived a sinless life and died on the cross as a sacrifice for the sins of all men. He arose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven and is now at the right hand of the Father as our High Priest and advocate. (Matt. 1:21-23; Heb. 7:26; 1 Cor. 15:3; Matt. 28:6; Phil. 2:9-11; Heb. 2:17; Rom. 8:34) Wed, 13 Sep 2006 13:43:03 MST http://www.newlifecc.com/app/w_page.php?type=section&id=3 http://www.newlifecc.com/app/w_page.php?type=section&id=3&article_id=33 The Old and New Testaments are the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God. In the Bible we find the revelation of God's will for the salvation of humanity, and the divine and final authority for the Christian life. (2 Timothy 3:15-17; 1Thess. 2:13; 2Peter 1:2) Wed, 13 Sep 2006 13:41:38 MST http://www.newlifecc.com/app/w_page.php?type=section&id=23 http://www.newlifecc.com/app/w_page.php?type=section&id=23&article_id=54 Jan Flifet is in charge of the Children's Outreach Ministry in Turlock which includes Crowell, Brown, Dennis Earl and Cunningham Elementary schools as well as Hilmar Elementary.

Through this new birth we are united together in the Body of Christ. Jesus is the Lord and Head of the church.

However, they are not to be regarded as a means of salvation. (Matt. 28:19; Rom. 6:4; Matt. 26:26-28; 1 Cor. 11:23-29) Tue, 11 Jul 2006 22:27:07 MST
