Once we've decided to walk with Jesus, we're never really sure where we'll go -- only that we won't be going alone. At New Life, we take the command to go and make disciples seriously
New Life strives to offer caring and outward-focused ministries and missions in our community, region, nation, and world. The people of New Life serve Jesus using their spiritual gifts, passions, talents, experiences, and callings. Whether through a simple shoebox sent to Operation Christmas Child, tutoring young people, or preparing a meal at the East Liberty Soup Kitchen for those that need warmth and fellowship. We also take Jesus’ marching order to “Go” to heart. You can find New Life young people and adults serving in the mission field from The Pittsburgh Project to Mexico. We also support with our monetary blessings missions in southeast Asia, Africa, and South America
New Life’s vision is to win people to Jesus Christ, disciple believers in their faith and then equip them to serve God with the gifts and talents He provides. Read more in this section about the different ministries and missions at New Life. Pray about how you can serve and then contact the leader listed. It’s that simple! If you have a ministry idea that is not listed, contact pastor of administration Pat Fecich at pat@newlifexn.org.

The purpose of worship is to glorify God, yet it is also a place where visitors come to see what we're all about. In doing both, we desire to create a joyful noise - not an unpleasant squeak - as we broadcast the Word throughout the worship center.
Sometimes a drama can reach a deeper part of our hearts than just a reading of the Word. People with a heart for Jesus can witness as effectively through drama as skilled evangelists and talented musicians and singers.
