The salary ranges are reviewed on an annual basis by the administration of the church and approved by the executive staff and elders.

We use the following guidelines for giving – give generously, give regularly and systematically, give voluntarily, give joyfully, give worshipfully, give proportionately, give sacrificially, and give quietly. All giving is a matter of the heart. 

 

There are a variety of ways to give to New Life Church.
 

The most common way to give at New Life Church occurs every Sunday during our worship services. At the conclusion of Worship and prior to the Sermon is the offering time. The ushers will pass white plastic offering buckets down each aisle in order to receive tithes & offerings from those who choose to give. If you choose to give by check, simply place your check in the bucket. The ushers and greeters also have envelopes to help facilitate cash, debit card or credit card gifts.
 

We also offer online giving at our website. Click here to access our online giving system now. You will need set-up an account and then can choose to do a one-time or recurring gift. We accept on-line electronic checks, debit cards and credit cards. We prefer that you use electronic check or debit card transaction as we do not advise anyone to going into debt to give to the church.
