Where is New Life?
We’re located at 75 E. 1100

the 49 bypass, on the north side of the road
(between IN-49 and 5th Street). For more
specific directions, click

What is a Wesleyan?
We are a
part of The Wesleyan Church, an evangelical,
Protestant denomination. We offer the good news
that faith in Jesus Christ makes possible a
wonderful personal relationship with God, a holy
life empowered by His Spirit for witness and
service, and assurance of eternal life in
heaven. Our name is in honor of John Wesley,
the founder of Methodism, whose emphasis on a
life of faith, self-discipline, and perfect love
is our example. For more information on The
Wesleyan Church, check out
www.wesleyan.org. For more information
about What We Believe, click

When
are your worship services?
Sundays at
9:00am and 10:30am. We also have a Family
Night, with something for all ages on Wednesdays
starting at 6:30pm. For a more detailed
schedule of service times, click
here.
What
are your worship services like?
Our Sunday
morning services last approximately 60-75 minutes,
and consist of an acoustic blend of modern and
timeless worship songs, prayer, a
Scripture-based message, and often a drama or
video presentation. We utilize video
technologies in many parts of the service. Our purpose is not to “put
on a show” but to help lead people into the
presence of Christ. For more information

What
can I expect?
New Life,
like any church, is not perfect. We do try
our best to be friendly and welcoming. You
will find a church of all ages, from newborns to
the newborn at heart. We have no "dress
code." You may find some wearing a shirt
and tie, while most are casually dressed and may
even be wearing a t-shirt and jeans. We
want to eliminate anything that might distract
you from hearing God speak to you.

Is
there help for the hearing impaired?
Yes, we have
sound headphone devices for those with hearing
impairments. If interested, please ask a
Sound Technician located in the booth at the
back of the sanctuary.
When
do you offer Communion (the Lord's Supper)?
Every fourth
Sunday in our morning worship services (and
other special days such as Good Friday services)
we partake in the sacrament of Communion (also
known by other Christians as the Lord's Supper,
Eucharist). Participants stay in their
seats as the bread and juice are passed on by.
(If you feel uncomfortable taking communion, you
do not have to participate--just pass the
plates down.) People need only to
have a personal relationship with Jesus and do
not need to be members of New Life.
