4 Services

2013 new life service times header
That’s right: we’ve moved to 4 services on Sunday mornings.

We’ve seen so many new people come to know Jesus as their Lord and Savior in the last year that we need to expand. For any organization, significant growth is the best kind of problem to solve, and for us, it means making more room.

Our new service times are now 8:30 AM, 9:45 AM, 11:15 AM and 12:30 PM. While this isn’t a perfect answer to our space issues, it’s the one we feel best for this season as we try to accomodate members and guests alike.

Thanks for your eagerness to embrace more souls as we spread the Gospel in Jefferson County!

The City

October 24, 2012 by Leave a Comment

We are just a few short weeks away from introducing our brand-new, online-community here at New Life.

While Facebook and Twitter are great ways to connect with people around the world on the outside, The City is New Life’s way of connecting you with people right here within the church. Since you know your audience, and all your information is secure, you can have confidence in connecting with other members and building longterm relationships.

Whether you’re looking to connect with a LifeGroup, check in with your child’s ministry teacher, or post a request for help moving into a new home, The City is where we’ll be, ready and waiting for you.

Stay tuned for more information right here and during the Sunday morning announcements this winter!

REQUEST AN ACCOUNT DURING OUR PRE-REGISTRATION PERIOD HERE.

Snapshot: September Week 2

September 11, 2012 by Leave a Comment


Here’s a quick look at some of the activity going on this week with the staff at New Life:

Pastor Kirk is discussing the possibility of starting a new book on church leadership; we all voted yes. Hopefully his “discussing” will turn into “writing” as we know many people would be blessed by such a work.

Pastor Christopher Hopper and Jennifer are getting ready to head out to Switzerland for the “Discerning the Times Conference” in Yverdon, followed by a brief stop in Malta. Please keep their travels in your prayers, that things would go smoothly, that their children would remain safe, and that lives are touched for the glory of the Lord in Europe.

Pastor Tom just shared a great testimony that, while at the wedding he and Pastor Kirk attended over the weekend, he was able to lead a couple to Jesus. Praise God!

With the launch of all the children’s, teen, and adult ministries this week, everyone is tying up lose ducks and getting their ends in a row. Or was it–? We’re so blessed to have new Volunteer Coordinators on-board with us, including Shane Marolf, Colleen Murphy, Sarah White, and Matt and Amy Parker. We’ll also be releasing the new names for our children’s ministries very soon! So stay tuned.

Here’s a quick look at some of the activity going on this week with the staff at New Life:

Pastor Kirk is firmly convinced this was the greatest summer ever in northern NY. We would have to agree. He’s also excited for Rebekah (his oldest) expecting her first baby with husband Joel. Pastor Kirk is gearing up for trips to Michigan and California, and prepping for teaching his Family Class starting later this month.

Pastor Christopher and Jennifer have been eating up the time they get on their boat with their kids; just explored a little island off Grindstone with the tribe yesterday! Swam for about 6 hours (and everyone slept like 16 year old boys on summer vacation).

Pastor Tom and Pastor Kirk are heading to Lake Palcid for a wedding this weekend. And Pastor Tom is getting ready to teach the New Believers Class.

We’re  celebrating Pastor Joseph’s recent engagement to Ciara Shaw! We’re pretty stoked for them both. (Stay tuned for the amazing proposal video from Boldt Castle). Pastor Joe is also gearing up to launch 33 Live next week; should be awesome!

Theresa returned from trip to Pennsylvania with her family; she’s been loving all the time with her kids and grand kids.

Here’s a quick look at some of the activity going on this week with the staff at New Life:

We’re celebrating the arrival of new blacktop in our parking lot! Of course, the office wing has a particularly odiferous scent to it, but we’re “suffering” through it because we know what lays ahead. Along with the sleek new surface will be completely new stripes; the modern layout may through you for a loop at first, but we believe it will be a welcome change.

Here’s a shot from Pastor Christopher’s Instagram feed:

Our stage crew is busy at work on the new Welcome Home Series, which includes amazing hand-made furniture by Megan Buckles, new lighting by Zach Yelle, and a re-positioned audio system by David Woodkirk. Most striking of all will be the new lobby banner (a whopping 24′ x 10′!) by Jason Clement (posters and tshirts will be available as well).

September is already shaping up to be a fabulous month! We can’t wait.

Here’s a quick look at some of the activity going on this week with the staff at New Life:

We’re all gearing up for the fall (can you believe it?), which for our kids means “back to school,” and for our staff means prepping for our September ministries to hit high gear.

Our new “Welcome Home” series is getting a lot of attention from our volunteer stage crew and design team, while new staff additions to our Childrens Ministry Departments will be announced this Sunday. Pastor Joseph is working with the 33 Live vision team for their upcoming “Birth of the Dreamers” series, and Pastor Christopher is planning some fall music shenanigans, including…

Phil Wickham performing here at the church on Sunday, October 21! For ticket information, please click here. You won’t want to miss it!

On a bitter-sweet note, we have one staff member that is leaving us, Pastor Leah Woodkirk. With the arrival of her wonderful, bouncing baby boy (Jayse David), both she and the Board agreed that it’s most beneficial for her to concentrate on being a full-time mommy. While we’re very sad to see her go, we know Jayse needs his mommy more than we do. At least we get to watch him grow up right before our eyes!

To Leah: thank you for your years of selfless service to New Life. We know you’ll always be doing something around here, as that’s just who you are. But your day-to-day presence in the offices will be missed. We cherish you dearly and know this next season holds amazing opportunities. The best is yet to come!

Here’s a quick look at some of the activity going on this week with the staff at New Life:

Clean up for KIDSfest 2012 Atlantis has finally finished. Here’s a recent pic and caption form Pastor Christopher’s iPhone following a massive popcorn explosion in the sanctuary:

We’re praising God for more than 20 children giving their lives to Jesus for the first time during the week.

The staff is gearing up for our September ministry launch, including our “Welcome Home” series for mainline services. There’s lots of designing, construction and creative activities all around.

As for leisure? Pastor Kirk has snuck out once to grab a game of golf and Pastor Christopher has been spotted sailing in the 1000 Islands.

Here’s a quick look at some of the activity going on this week with the staff at New Life:


Our biggest news is that Pastor Leah Woodkirk & Family celebrated the birth of her new baby boy on Friday. Jayse David Woodkirk was bron July 20th at 8:00am, weighing 8lbs 1oz and measuring 20-inches long. Both Mommy and Baby are doing well and recovering at home. You can email encouragement to leah@newlifenny.com, and drop gifts off at the New Life Office.

Pastor Kirk and Carolyn just returned from a trip to Michigan. One of the most meaningful points of the trip was meeting with some old friends who tragically lost their teenage son a year ago. They listened to the family’s story and grieved with them, yet were deeply encouraged to see tremendous faith in the midst of adversity and heartache.

Pastor Christopher just returned from a very fruitful ministry trip to Europe where he spoke and lead worship at the Radikal For Jesus Youth Conference in northern France. Nations represented included Mexico, Switzerland, Spain, Belgium and Scotland. For more on his trip and to see pics, visit his website.

Here’s a quick look at some of the activity going on this week with the staff at New Life:

Pastor Kirk and Carolyn are wrapping their hosting of special guests Mike & Tonya Lewis. Mike spoke for all three messages on Sunday, sharing powerful stories of their miraculous work in Guatemala. Mike reported that an “amazing amount” of their students were sponsored by New Lifers.

Pastor Christopher is leaving for Europe to take part in the Radikal For Jesus youth conference held in France. He’ll also be visiting a ministry in Madrid on Wednesday. He asks that you pray for “successful God-encounters, the hearts of the people of Europe, and grace for traveling.”

The rest of the staff is gearing up for KIDSfest “Atlantis,” spearheaded by Pastor Leah and her amazing support team of creatives. If you haven’t registered your child yet, you can do so online.
