Family Care Ministries
There are times in our lives when we are moving forward, and then life surprises us with a difficult circumstance. We find that we need additional support and care to navigate this new terrain. New Life Family Care Minsitries exist to walk alongside you in your journey by providing care, connections, and resources.

Serving the families of New Life North through baskets, meals, grief books, and words of hope.
Connections
Individual and group connections for diverse times of crisis.
Resources
Trainings to equip, Critical Conversations, and a diverse network of church and community resources.
SUPPORT GROUPS
Deaf/Signing Ministry– This ministry supports the deaf community by interpreting worship and the sermon during the 9am Sunday morning service. Please email Linda Aragon at print.thruair.4u@gmail.com for more information.
Authentic Marriage– Come join us as we enjoy snacks and desserts, play games and share life together. We are all about joining together in fellowship and being real with where we are in our marriages. We want to hang out, build each other up, share our experiences and help each other fight the attacks coming at us. Please email careministries@newlifechurch.org for more information.
Simply Married– Finding the joy in our marriages by returning to God’s pure and simple design, reflecting His love to the world through our love for each other. We’ll join in fellowship with young families to forge defenses and plans for topics which seem to trouble many marriages today: communication, kids, money, selfishness, intimacy, family relationships, and outside influences. Our group will also have a trusted mentor couple who’s “been there” before us to provide wisdom that only experience provides. We meet weekly at New Life North on Tuesday nights. We do ask that couples be married to attend. Our structure follows an on-line study course, generally a 15-20 minute video followed by conversation and prayer. New Life Kids mid-week is available. Please email careministries@newlifechurch.org for more information.
Sacred Marriage– Couples in all stages of marriage will benefit from discussing Gary Thomas’s Sacred Marriage curriculum that reveals God’s perspective and true purpose for marriage. This group will provide an informal environment for building genuine relationships with one another and with our spouses. Please email careministries@newlifechurch.org for more information.
The Art of Marriage– Join other New Life couples investing in their relationships in a 6-week video and workbook series! Learn practical tools to strengthen your marriage in a home-based small group environment. Please email careministries@newlifechurch.org for more information.
Caregivers Group– It is hard caring for a loved one! You are not alone! Join us as we share this caregiving journey together, uplifting each other in prayer and encouraging each other as we care for our loved ones. We will meet in person and over Zoom, making the group available to those who cannot leave their loved one. Please email careministries@newlifechurch.org for more information.
Single Parenting– We are a community of single dads and moms supporting each other. We know that being a single parent can be especially hard, and that means that a community of support is all the more important. Please email careministries@newlifechurch.org for more information.
Forgiven & Set Free- A Post Abortion Bible Study for Women. Forgiven and Set Free was developed out of the author’s experience of being freed from the bondage of guilt and grief that followed her own abortion. For every woman yearning for the peace of God’s forgiveness, this study can be the first step to healing and wholeness. Please email Family Care at familycare@newlifechurch.org for more information.
