JOIN A LIFE GROUP!
At Newlife, we are committed to raising up healthy, Spirit-filled disciples.
Jesus calls us to be disciples who raise up disciples. 2 Timothy 2:2 says, “‘And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others.’” Discipleship is an intentional process that involves declaring and demonstrating. That is, declaring the truths of Scripture combined with demonstrating ministry as found in the Bible. This is continuing the ministry of Jesus in word and deed. Tuesday evenings is one of the times we have set aside to train disciples through a series of five courses that we offer.
Below is a description of three of the courses. Because a significant part of the class is ministering in table groups, it is essential that you consult your calendar before signing up to ensure you can attend all classes.

FRUITFUL
GIFTEDNESS
This highly interactive course will offer small group work, hands-on prayer ministry and teaching on the Fruit and Gifts of the Spirit. We believe that not only does God redeem our past, but He also heals us of our brokenness and equips to extended the Kingdom of God. By walking in His grace and truth we increasingly become whole people who then minister the gifts of the Spirit via the fruit of the Spirit.
One of the goals of this course is that you will identify your spiritual gifts as well as have greater clarity on the fruit of the Spirit in your life. During this course you will have the opportunity to both receive ministry and also practice ministering to others. We believe everyone in the Body of Christ should be equipped to minister to others.
“From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work.” Ephesians 4.16
HEALING
PRAYER
“He sent out His word and healed them.”
Psalm 107.20
The overarching theme of Scripture is God’s repeated intervention into the plight of suffering humanity. With the arrival of the Kingdom of God as declared and demonstrated by the ministry of Jesus, this intervention took on clear shape. The Greek word “sozo” which is used repeatedly in the Gospels, captures the scope of God’s work as its meaning includes “saving”, “delivering” and “healing”. God has commissioned and empowered His people to continue His Kingdom ministry in each generation. Towards that end, Newlife is committed to equipping and empowering God’s people to bring mental, emotional, and physical healing to others. This course is designed to provide the Biblical rationale for healing, the obstacles to healing, as well as practical hands-on training in small groups and one-on-one as we, by God’s Spirit, do what Jesus has called us to do in extending His kingdom.
MINISTERING
MINISTERING
DELIVERANCE
PRAYER
“The reason the Son of God came was to destroy the devil’s work”. 1 John 3:8
The Bible describes a real war that is being fought between the Kingdom of God and the kingdom of Satan over the souls of humankind. We are called and commissioned by Jesus to continue His ministry to “set the captives free”. All humanity is subject to the results of the fall, our propensity to sin, and the assault of Satan against humanity. Taking our model from the ministry of Jesus and the early church we want to learn how to resist evil by engaging in the battles that God is waging. While we believe that the victory over death and Satan has already been won by Christ’s saving work on the cross, we know that we must still fight skirmishes in our daily lives.
This course is designed to raise our awareness of Spiritual warfare and the various ways it manifests in the world around us. The participant will be equipped in how to discern demonic infestation or harassment, how to do deliverance prayer, and how to minister to those recovering from demonic harassment.

“Discipleship Essentials opened a door that helped me discover my true identity, taught me good habits, and continues to guide me in keeping my mind and walk with God healthy. Through Discipleship Essentials and the help of the coaches I was able to find answers to all of the questions that had been weighing me down.”

“In the Discipleship Essentials class I came to a full realization of why God sent His son to the cross to die for us. I felt something click in my mind and finally understood the significance of the cross. That realization allowed me to learn about my spiritual identity and how God sees me according to His Word.”
