The world is our mission field, locally and globally.
Missions are at the heart of New Life Church and we can’t help but keep it there because it is the whole purpose of the church.
Jesus said very clearly in Mark 16:15-16:
“Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.”
