We value the poor and underserved in our city. We are committed to overlapping our lives with those who are in vulnerable situations for the sake of obeying the commands of Scripture, being a channel for God's love to overflow onto others, and maturing as Christ followers. Indeed in the process of loving the vulnerable we encounter Christ himself.
Opportunities to serve
Homeless Outreach - 5DM
With the attitude that our role is to love our neighbor, not fix or convert our neighbor, we meet at McDonald's on Platte and Wahsatch every Sunday night at 6pm, then head to America the Beautiful Park to feed and hang out with homeless folks in our city.
Bring $5 if you want to contribute to the burgers we hand out or simply come and spread the love to some of our most vulnerable friends downtown. We do our best to connect folks with healthy growth paths to wholeness and the One True God through relationship and love during our time together. Email Danny for more info at the link below.
Help Host Families without a home
For this opportunity, we opens up our doors at New Life to familes in Homeless situations. We do this in partnership with IHN along with other churches in Colorado Springs to provide housing and support to families working to become independent. This is an incredible way to spread the love of Jesus and put feet to our faith. To learn more about IHN as an organization visit the
website.
We will need your help with:
- cooking a meal or part of a meal
- hosting for an evening or overnight
- helping with set up and tear down

Mentoring Homeless Familes
If you have a desire to help end homelessness one family at a time, consider becoming a part of a team of 5-8 people who mentor one homeless family. This is a great idea for a small group who wants to wrap around a family in a missional way. Through life skills, budgeting, and mentoring we can be hand up to families in homeless situations. Mentor teams meet 1-2 times a month for 5-7 months.
Next Training is October 19th from 9am-1pm. Register for training below or email bwmikulas@newlifechurch.org for more info.
