Our Areas of Greatest Need :: The 1 Hour Challenge

New Life needs your help! Would you be willing to give up just 1 of the 720 hours you have available each month to make a difference? If you're interested, please read about our greatest needs and click here to sign up for one of our teams.

Greeters

With the blessing of so many people coming on Sunday these days, we have so many more people to greet so we’re hoping to add a few more greeting posts to our setup on Sunday mornings. This is an excellent opportunity to serve without missing out on church.
Greeter team openings:
We currently have space for another 10-15 people to serve 1x/month.

Parking

One of the biggest challenges that we face on Sundays is trying to find a place for everyone to park. If you like bright vests and directing traffic with cool looking flags, then you’re in for a treat. Our goal is to field a team of 3-4 people for the 10:01am service and another 2-3 people for the 12:01pm service. We need you to arrive at church 30 min. before the start of whichever service you are serving for and your job ends about 20 min. into the service (so you can usually still catch a worship song or two).

We currently have space for another 15-20 people to serve 1x/month.

Lights

This is not the hardest job on the planet, but it’s a fairly important role for us on Sunday mornings. We need a few extra people to operate our lighting board and house lights during our Sunday services. We could also use a team leader for lights as well (someone to put together the lights team schedule and make our lighting on Sundays to a new level of excellent). If you’re curious about what happens behind the scenes at NLC on Sundays, this is an excellent chance to learn. We need our lights team members to arrive no later than 9:30am for the 10:01 service and no later than 11:30am for the 12:01pm service. You can serve during both services or just one.
Lights team openings:
We currently have space for another 5-6 people to serve 1x/month. And we need 1 team leader.

Slides

Ok - we won't lie. This isn't an easy job. It takes technical skill, attention to detail, and a willingness to operate in a relatively high stress environment (since you literally control what ends up on our screen on Sundays). But - if you have a decent facility with powerpoint and computers, this job may be for you.
Slider openings:
We currently have space for another 4-5 people to serve 1x/month.

Special Projects

Do you have a drill at home with more than 14 Volts? Can you drop 3 hours in the Home Depot and not even realize it? If you like building, repairing, construction, painting, outdoor work and anything that helps keep our building in good shape, this is the team for you. We have a whole list of projects just waiting to get done around here, but we need a skilled team of men and women to help us get them done. And to top it off, you get to work with Ben Brand (our announcement guy). If this sounds intriguing, but you don’t feel you have much experience in any of these areas, please don’t let that hinder you. We tackle projects in groups so there is usually someone around who can teach you what you’ll need to know.
Special Projects team openings:
We don’t currently have a cap on this team. The more the merrier. Isn’t that right, Ben?
