Whole Life Generosity
Generosity. Why do we give? Why is this important? What if generosity was more than simply giving what is expected, more than what we do? What if generosity is designed by God to form our identity? We are created in the image of a generous God. As His children he calls us to live counter to the world’s culture of fear, scarcity, false securities, selfish ambitions and end consumption. We are called to open our hearts and hands and love generously just like Jesus. Whole life generosity is exactly what it sounds like-being generous with all of life, all we have and all we are. The core of generosity starts with Jesus as our model. Jesus gave up everything for our sake so that we might become like him, rich in generosity.
Are you new to the church and wondering what tithing is all about? Maybe you're curious about the biblical foundation for giving, or you want to understand what tithing means for your faith journey. Our "Tithes: God’s Training Ground for Giving" resource explores what the Bible says about giving, why it matters, and how it connects to God's work in your life and through New Life Church.
Giving in person? Boxes are located in the back of the auditorium by each exit.
Ministry Space Expansion
"Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven." - Matthew 6:10
By 2035, we want every child in Knox County to have a practical opportunity to know Jesus. That's Hope for Generations, and it shapes everything we do. At New Life Church, we're not just building walls - we are creating spaces where we welcome children, teens, and families. Every classroom, every gym court, every gathering space represents an opportunity for someone to encounter Jesus and experience His transforming love.
This phase of the ministry space expansion is how we make room for more - space for Kid Life, a gym that serves the community all week, and room to grow as more families walk through our doors.
If you'd like to partner with us financially, consider a pledge or a one-time gift.
What this phase of expansion includes:
A new multi-purpose gym and auditorium, built to serve worship, sports, outreach, and community use throughout the week
Renovation of the current auditorium into expanded Kid Life space
The current lobby transformed into a welcoming kids area
Additional parking
A new roof for the existing auditorium

Giving FAQ
What is tithing?
We believe tithing is a biblical principle. To tithe is to return to God one tenth of the income He has blessed us with, in gratitude and devotion through the ministry of the local church. We use the term ‘return’ in recognition that it is already God’s, based on scripture.
Why do we tithe?
For those investing the money, it displays their trust that God is ultimately their Provider. It is an expression of thankfulness to God for His blessings and provisions. For the church receiving the tithe, it becomes a much-needed resource for ministry and operations.
