We are affiliated with the Brethren in Christ Church. Our beliefs are rooted in the doctrine of the BIC. We believe the Bible to be the inspired Word of God and the final authority for faith and practice.

We believe we were created by God and Jesus Christ is the son of God, who lived a sinless life, died on a cross, and rose from the dead to pay for the sins of all man that accept Him. We believe a right relationship with God and forgiveness for our sins is found only through Jesus Christ.

We believe the Holy Spirit is present in believers at the time of commitment and provides spiritual gifts for witness and service.

We believe Jesus will return and the final destiny of all things is in God’s hands.

At New Life Community we believe that we are called to be a “City on a hill.” Jesus said, “You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden.” (Matthew 5:14 NIV)

As a “City on a hill”:

We envision sharing the good news of Christ’s death and resurrection with thousands of un-churched friends, neighbors, and co-workers in the greater Carlisle area, many of whom will give Him leadership of their lives.

We envision reaching people from all walks of life who will find help, healing and hope.

We envision being a people centered on prayer, who come together regularly to seek God’s guidance, stand in the gap for others, and pour out our hearts to Him in worship.

We envision being a church of small groups, where everyone is connected in a healthy small group that modes biblical community.

We envision developing people to spiritual maturity through seeker friendly worship services, small group, life developing classes, and mentoring relationships.

We envision equipping every believer for significant ministry by helping each member discover his/ her God-given SHAPE, and then training him/her to use their SHAPE in ministry

We envision training and sending people out in missions.

We envision being a church that plants other churches.

Ryan has been serving in full time ministry for over 10 years. After Graduating from Emmanuel Bible College in Kitchener Ontario Canada in 1996 with a Bachelor of Religious Education degree he accepted the position of Youth Paster at Stayner BIC Church. After serving in Stayner for 6 years, He and Maureen sensed God calling them to serve at New Life Community.

Ryan has been married to his wife Maureen since 1996. They have two children; Joshua and Alethea. In his spare time Ryan loves to canoe, bike, play golf, and swim, but his real passion is HOCKEY.
