Our Values
beliefs that unite us
01
Jesus is who we love
The purpose of NLF is to share hope and the love of Jesus to all. Jesus is who we love because he first loved us. Everything that we do is for Jesus.
04
Joy is our decision
Until you experience the transforming power of God’s grace in your life, you’re too enslaved by your own hurts, habits, and hang-ups to think much about others.
02
People is who we serve
Many people have the misconception that being “called” by God is something only missionaries, pastors, nuns, and other church leaders experience.
05
Generosity is our privilege
The number one reason we don’t have the time or energy to serve others is that we’re preoccupied with our own agendas, dreams, and pleasures.
03
Honor is our expression
We are not saved by serving, but we are saved for serving. You were called to be free.” You cannot serve God until you’ve been set free by Jesus.
06
We are there, even in times of crisis
The motive for serving is loveServe one another in love.” This is an important key to building community.

“I love being part of this family. I love their commitment to Jesus, the Bible, and the great commission. I love the fact that I’m not just joining a denomination; I’m actually joining a family.”
Allen Cardines, Pastor
“You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature; rather, serve one another in love. We are not saved by serving, but we are saved for serving. ”

About Us
What are your gatherings like?
First, we must understand church is not a building, a Sunday school class, or a service time. According to scripture, a church gathering is a group of people coming together in Christ and the people are the church. Jesus shows us in Matthew 18 that a gathering can be as little as two people together.
What happens when I visit?
The service usually involves the singing of hymns, reading of scripture verses and possibly a psalm. If the church follows a lectionary, the sermon will often be about the scripture lections assigned to that day. Eucharistic churches have usually Holy Communion either every Sunday or several Sundays a month.
What should I bring?
There are no rules as to what to bring to church, other than your self, an open heart and mind. Some bring a bible, if you’re going to engage in bible study.
How should I dress?
If you want to know how to dress for church, something modest and comfortable should be fine. Generally, graphic tees that show off sports team logos or bands should never be worn to church. Solid-colored tops are fine, and even something with a pattern should be OK to wear.
Can I invite people to come with?
Ask your friends if they have a place to worship the Savior and invite them to come worship with you, especially at times like Christmas and Easter. If they aren’t Christians, ask them if they’d like to learn more about Jesus Christ and invite them to experience a Christian worship service with you. Remember to show the same respect for their beliefs that you hope they will give yours.
What if we didn't answer your question?
There are many questions Christians are asked that the individual Christian is unable to answer. It happens all the time.
