English Classes (ESL)
Our Adult English Language Classes provide an opportunity for people in our community to come to our church to learn English. We also go over scripture verses and Bible stories with the students. We have four levels of classes. At this time we do not offer childcare. We meet Tuesdays and Thursdays, October to May, from 7:00pm–8:30pm at the church. Students may begin classes anytime during the school year. The cost of these classes is a one time registration fee of $10 and books, which cost about $40.

This work continues to be inspired by the Good Samaritan parable, which closes with Jesus’ encouragement, “Go and do likewise.”
But even more deeply, helping those in need represents God’s own behavior: “For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you by his poverty might become rich.” (2 Corinthians 8:9) This is good news!
Nursery School
New Life Nursery School was founded in 1990 to give families in our community a place of quality education and Christian nurture. We provide a safe caring and creative environment where every child is valued as a unique individual. We care for two year old through school-aged children in a happy, relaxed atmosphere. All children learn through a variety of age-appropriate activities and play. We offer a morning program with extended afternoon hours, science classes and a variety of special activities each month. We welcome family involvement from parents, siblings and grandparents. Our staff is qualified, experienced, and committed to the growth and development of each child.
Classes are held from September through May—Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday (no school on Wednesdays), with an additional 3 week summer camp option which takes us into June.
