Al-Anon Group is a fellowship for relatives and friends of alcoholics, addicts who share their experience strength and hope in order to assist in solving their common problems. We believe alcoholism and, drug addiction is a family illness and that changed attitudes can aid recovery, Al-Anon has but one purpose: to help families of alcoholic and drug addicted family members. We do this by practicing the Twelve Steps, by welcoming and giving comfort to families of alcoholics and addicts and by giving understanding and encouragement to those family members.
Remembering alcoholism and drug addiction is a Disease.
We at New Life assist each member of the group in achieving these steps for the answer.

Mission Statement: The NLT Culinary/Hospitality Ministry aspires to exemplify the love of God and man as we serve the needs of NLT and our Communities. The Ministry is dedicated to preparing food that is fit for the KING and showing kindness in the welcoming of family and guests. The NLT Culinary/Hospitality Ministry is steadfast in the practice of high quality standards as mandated for health and safety in every area of food services and to treat God’s people with a warm and receptive disposition.
Vision: The Culinary/Hospitality Ministry is a creative and innovative ministry designed to serve God and others through food preparation and humble service. It demonstrates Colossians 3:23- “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for me.” The ministry demonstrates friendliness and professionalism and diligently strives toward perfection in all areas. The ministry functions through two discreet but intricately interwoven groups: the culinary staff (food services) and the serving group (human services). The Ministry’s decree (Job 22:28) is:
To glorify God in all we do through food services and hospitality
To fulfill service requirements according to prescribed guidelines
To provide food/beverage at its tasty best temperature
To draw all patrons with love and kindness
To execute Godly stewardship concerning financial resources

God ordained marriage. It was His idea. Matthew 19:4-6 ” For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother and shall cleave to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh? So that they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let no man put asunder.” Christ is the perfect picture of the faithful husband; His true church is the perfect pattern of the loving wife. The Home Improvement Ministry is for all married couples whether you have been married for six months or fifty years. Being a part of this ministry will be a blessing to you personally and to your marriage. If your marriage has hit some rocky roads and you need to know how the love can be rekindled, the Home Improvement Ministry is the place to be. You will find through fellowship with other couples that God can show you how to stay in love, how to forgive and how to have a marriage that is pattern after Christ’s marriage to the church. There is nothing more like heaven than a home where a husband and wife are in love with each other and God. The Home Improvement Ministry meets the first Sunday of each month at 6:30 p.m. If you have a marriage that is dead, God is the God of the Resurrection? He can make your dead love live again. Any members interested in participating in Home Improvement Ministry is invited to join us! Pastor Carl Davis & First Lady Harolyn Davis

The Men’s Ministry is an area of the church where men can come together and share their life experiences with one another, without concern for judgement or condemnation. The Bible Says “The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighted in his way” (Psalms 37:23) The New Life Men’s Ministry is a place where men can come to get directions from the Lord. We rejoice with one another and we cry with one another. When one is hurt, we all hurt, and when one celebrates we all celebrate. We feel that God is calling for men to assume their roles as men, to teach their sons how to be Men first, and then Fathers later, after they marry. Our Motto: Teach The Word At Home, With A Consecrated Heart, Following In The Footsteps of The Savior, Leading All Men To God. In Conclusion, Come and See How The Lord has Blessed The Men Who Have Experienced “NEW LIFE” We are asking all Brothers to be a part of the Men’s Ministry. We need your Support. Be Blessed in the Lord Your brother in Christ, Elder Ronald McCann

Final Thoughts We have been chosen by God through his man servant “Our Pastor”. He has both challenged and given us the awesome responsibility of serving our peers. Along with our service to God we now have an added level of duty to other youth to be an example in our everyday lives. We are charged by God to inspire, encourage, and educate any young believer who will listen. The challenge to each of us is to live the life we talk about 24/7. Let’s be “The Light” that Matthew spoke about in chapter 5.
