Welcome to Life Classes and Life Groups 2026
Welcome to a key aspect of your walk with God – discipleship and spiritual development. At New Life, we believe discipleship thrives in community.
Acts 2:42-47 shows the early church was deeply engaged in spiritual growth alongside other believers. Life Groups and Life Classes immerse you in a healthy community of loving Christ-followers dedicated to nurturing each member's growth. This community enables us to learn 'with' and ‘from’ each other.
We become better when we are together. Life Groups and Life Classes are how New Life comes together to help make each of us better. Better at Life. Better at Home. Better at Work. Better at Following Christ. Let’s walk this journey together.

Life Class Title: Explore The Bible: I & II Peter and Jude (Click Here to Register) Description: This class explores the letters of Peter and Jude, their messages, the historical context, and how and why they are different from the letters of Paul. I and II Peter are written by the Apostle Peter with I Peter focusing on encouraging Christians to remain faithful and persevere during times of persecution, emphasizing their identity as "chosen exiles." II Peter warns against false teachers and encourages believers to grow in their faith, emphasizing the importance of faith, virtue, and love. Both of Peter's letters address the challenges faced by the early church and offer guidance for navigating those challenges. The main message of the book of Jude is to "earnestly content for the faith" that was once entrusted to the saints. Similar to Peter, Jude warns of the dangers of false teachers who have infiltrated the church and perverted the grace of God into a license for immorality. Jude emphasizes the importance of building up faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, and keeping oneself in the love of God.
