Every dad (and every person!) faces pressure. This Father’s Day, hear a Bible-based message that’ll encourage you to lead with strength and live with purpose—even when life feels heavy.

Your Kids Matter

Your Kids Matter

We love kids at New Life! We think one of the best ways to celebrate Father's Day is as a whole family. That’s why we keep families together in the service during the summer. We will have craft bags and activities to keep the little ones occupied during the service, and our nursery and quiet room are available for families who need more room to spread out.

Common Questions

Whatever makes you comfortable! Some people dress up a bit, others come casual. You’ll fit in either way.

Just over an hour—but we promise it’ll fly by.

Family Photos

Before and after each service, take a moment to grab a photo together. We’ll have a Father's Day photo station set up so you can create a memory worth keeping.

We don't judge.

We don't care if you have tattoos

We don’t care if you’re not “a church guy.”
We don’t care if you’ve messed up or feel like a work in progress.

We just want to meet you :)
