New Life Church is a Willow Creek Association Church.



New Life Church is affiliated with a group of churches known as the Assemblies of God (AG) . There are 2.8 million people in America and over 54 million worldwide who are affiliated with this church family. There are approximately 12,000 churches across the U.S. who are a part of the Assemblies.

Our affiliation does not mean we are controlled by a parent organization. The Assemblies of God believes that the best leadership for a community is found at the local level. We are owned and operated by the local membership here at New Life Church. The emphasis and control of AG churches are at the grass roots local level.

At New Life Church we :

  • Choose our own Pastor.
  • Own our own buildings and properties.
  • Determine our own programs and ministers.

What are the advantages of affiliating with the Assemblies of God?

It allows us to identify with other Christians around the world who are known for their commitment to Christ. We feel there is a great benefit to associating with other Christians.

It allows our church to participate in an exciting missionary organization. The Assemblies of God has over 2,650 full time missionaries working in 145 nations. In addition, there are 640 missionary associates. We are a church that desires to see the Good News of God's love shared around the world. Our affiliation with the Assemblies of God helps us greatly.
