Vision Fund

Vision is more than a dream, vision is strategising to make the dream a reality.

The dream for New Life has been to be a large church, with a big influence in the city of Derby. To see peoples lives touched and changed by the power of Christ and to observe people taking hold of the holistic life and purpose God has for them.

The church in the 21st Century is going to have to operate differently to the generations that have gone before them. Gone are the days of the Attractional Mega Church model, where you put on an all singing all dancing, seeker sensitive service where people will just come, as we have seen demonstrated over in the USA and other countries.

People today are looking for an authentic, real, no holds barred, down to earth church, where the bible is taught and explained in an engaging, understanding way and people feel as though they can come and explore without being judged.

Services are filled with life and energy because people expect to see that we are passionate about who we believe in and are not ashamed of the gospel.

The church is mobile and hard working and engaging in the community, where there is an authentic expression of the life transformation that we have all experienced.

We at New Life are on the move, moving into the fullness of the dream God placed on the hearts and minds of the leaders of New Life over the generations.

The Vision is to see more of all that God has for us as a church, to see the heart of this city, enthused with the heartbeat of God.

This is going to cost us, financially and with blood sweat and tears, but the inspiration of the dream far outweighs the cost, and the vision fund will help to make that dream a reality.

You can give financially into the Vision Fund via our offering envelopes.

Please also remember that if you are a tax payer we can claim 25p back from the government for every pound that you give, please fill in the gift aid details on the offering envelope to allow us to do this.
