Once you have attended a partnership course, you may feel you want to
join us as a partner here at New Life.
When you do, you will be visited by some of our elders who will chat
through with you what it may look like for you to be a partner and how this would look.

You will also be asked to complete a form, which is an agreement

of your commitment to New Life Baptist Church.

Become a partner (optional)
Being a partner (member) of New Life Baptist Church is all about doing life together.
It means choosing to join with us in community, in prayer, in mission,
serving aboard as well as in our local community. This is portrayed
in various ways such as; serving on a team, attending church meetings
and giving towards the work of the church (click here to find out more).
