Greetings friend,

Thank you for stopping by the New Life website.  My name is Tim Estes and my lovely wife is Tricia.  Together, we pastor a growing, non-denominational church right here in Siloam Springs, Arkansas.  We hope our website has given you the information you need for your discovery process.  If there is more you'd like to know, feel free to get in touch with us.  Oh, there is one thing we can't give you over the internet.  That is a warm handshake and '

in-person' greeting.  We trust that soon you will visit us and give us the opportunity to give these to you as well.  We have a beautiful, new 'Guest Relations' center now open for your convenience.  Each week we are meeting brand new people who are finding faith for their journey of life right here at New Life.

While there are literally hundreds of thousands of churches represented in cyberspace, each one touting their many reasons you need to belong.  Let me be honest and tell you that we know we are 'not' the church for everyone.  Got your attention?  I hope so.  We believe we have a wonderful church that would be hard to beat by any standards. Our greatest asset is our people.  For your amusement, I have compiled a list of those who would 'not' at all like NLT.  Perhaps you will find it both interesting and informative...and maybe even a little humorous.

You Will Not Like New Life if....

1.  You need to sing from a hymnal.

2.  Your idea of church includes sad or somber faces every Sunday.

3.  Clapping with the praise band gets on your nerves.

4.  You want sermons to be entertaining and never challenging.

5.  You enjoy judging people by what they wear, the color of their skin, or their individual differences.

6.  You have never needed forgiveness and enjoy holding the past over people's heads.

7.  You believe relevance and holiness are contradicting terms.

8.  You need the pastor to always wear a necktie and enforce strict dress codes.

9.  You would like the median age of your church members to be north of 60.

10.  You enjoy exclusivity rather than inclusivity.

I submit these with a little tongue-in-cheek!  But seriously, we believe you will find NLT to be an awesome faith-community where you can be accepted at your point of Spiritual maturity, and provided an environment wherein you can grow in Grace.

We look forward to connecting with you soon.  Please come by and see us if you are in our area.  If you are transitioning to Northwest Arkansas or feel God tugging your family toward a church that practices the grace of God, then give us a call and let us be the first to welcome you home.

May God bless you is my sincere prayer,

Pastor Tim Estes
