Life Group/Bible Study/Short-Term Study Opportunities
There are three opportunities for adults to grow together at New Life.
Life Groups are small groups that get together weekly - Virtual & In-Person - to study various Bible studies, deepening their faith through shared learning, discussion, and community support. Life Groups are for everyone: women, men, older adults, couples, and young adults. Open to anyone at any time - prior attendance is not necessary. Life Groups pray, study, laugh and cry together. But even more, they grow in Christ together.
Bible Study Groups bring people together to explore and understand the teachings of the Bible, grow in their faith, encourage one another spiritually, and build a supportive Christian community where members can apply biblical principles to their daily lives. Open to everyone at any time whether they are new to faith or have been studying scriptures for a lifetime.
Short-term Study Groups are focused studies of a specific topic, book of the Bible, or theme that typically lasts for a set number of weeks—often 4 to 8 weeks. They are designed to be time-limited and accessible, making it ideal for people looking to grow spiritually without a long-term commitment. Everyone is welcome to participate.

Mixed Adult Life Group
Empty-Nest, Close to Retirement, Retired Season of Life
Led by Patti Davis
Tuesday nights at 7pm
Beginning September 16, join in as they study “God Never Gives Up on You” by Max Lucado.
God's Grace Is Greater Than Your Biggest Setback. God enacts his perfect plan through imperfect people—including you and me! In this five-session Bible study (video streaming included), you will see how God used Jacob—the misbehaving patriarch who was strong on savvy but weak on conscience—simply because God chose to use Jacob. His story invites us to believe in a God who sticks with the unworthy until we are safely at home. God turns brokenness into blessings through his grace, mercy, and relentless love. Not just for Bible characters, but for you. God Never Gives Up on YOU. -
Senior Ladies Life Group
led by Gail Dumblauskas
Thursday mornings 10:30am at New Life
Beginning October 2, join as they study “Seven Essentials for Finishing Well” by Hal Habecker.
To encourage this biblical mindset in retirement is the purpose of this discipleship project. FWM has developed this video series/workbook to focus on seven (7) areas of life that will help us live well and finish well. It is particularly designed with retired and aging people in mind. We believe God has an incredible mission for us as we age. The workbook follows the video series. The two are designed for personal use as a self-study or a small group use. Use it in a Sunday School group, a home group, or a Bible study group. -
