At New Life, "Church Planting is our passion." We want to be a mother church, not a mega-church. In this way, we see the Kingdom of God spread to new people and places, and we continuously fan the flames of our own faith.
Towards this end, NLC staff members and anyone interested in exploring church planting are invited to a Church Planting Vision Trip happening Friday, October 10 - Monday, October 13 (UM Fall Break weekend). We will be visiting New Life's 2018 church plant, H2O Kalamazoo. The trip will include time for prayer, conversation, and exploring the city of Kalamazoo, and all transportation, lodging, and food costs will be provided!
Here is our rough itinerary, although all of it is subject to change depending on the size of our group.
