OUR STORY
Tim and Stacy Gaddy started New Life Church as a daughter work out of Word Aflame Fellowship in Little Rock. The Gaddys served for seven years as youth pastor at Word Aflame before launching New Life Church in July 1999. New Life Church's first service was a prayer meeting at the home of Murva Bennett at 71 Lassiter Lane in Cabot on Tuesday evening, July 20, 1999. There were seven people in attendance.
Our first Sunday worship service was held on November 7, 1999, in the sanctuary of Hope Presbyterian Church in Cabot. NLC worshiped at this facility for thirteen months before moving into two storefront units on Main Street in Cabot next to the Price Cutter grocery store in January 2001. In May 2007, NLC moved into our current location at 107 Commercial Street.
New life broke ground for a brand new Worship Center in late 2019. On May 30, 2021, NLC hosted its first service in the new building. Since day one, New Life has been a place of hope, growth and strength. We rejoice for all God has done, and we believe our greatest days are still ahead.
OUR PURPOSE
SHARING THE HOPE OF THE GOSPEL
The Gospel literally means "Good News." The good news is that because of the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus, He has the ability to step into any situation and give you a fresh start where you can have new life in Him. At NLC, the messages are not only life-changing but will leave you longing for a stronger relationship with God. We want you to know that the words of Jesus written 2000 years ago still have life changing power. This is good news, and we want to share it with everyone!
GROWING
DISCIPLES
To be a disciple is to "follow Jesus." Whether you are just beginning to check out God and the Bible, or have been a committed Christian for years or anywhere in between, our desire is to help you grow as a disciple of Jesus. How do you grow? We believe growth happens as a result of spending time in prayer (communication with God), studying His Word and living (practicing) what God says. We make available corporate bible studies, small group classes, individual home Bible studies as well as various tools and resources to help you grow in your walk with God.
STRENGTHENING FAMILIES
New Life Church is family-focused. We intentionally come alongside families offering practical helps such as counseling, specialized training classes, financial stewardship teaching, KidzLIFE, and Nexus Student Ministry. We even offer groups for you to find a friend in every season of life. Every event, gathering, and time together is family-friendly.
