California - Santa Barbara

Santa Barbara, CA

Name of church
New Life Church

Website
http://newlifechurchsb.org/

Music
contemporary, w/the occaisional hymn. longer in the mornings. some fast, some slow. At least one or two people will dance during a properly motiviating song.

Speaking
hm... deep teaching - Pastor doesn't stay on superficial Bible stuff, but really teaches us to go deep.

Childcare
good childcare for infants up to jr high, i believe. people really love the kids. kids spend the whole service in sunday school. --except for the 1st Sunday of the month. then they join the adults for worship.

Favorite Thing
GREAT teaching. Loving, commited congregation. And the 4:35 service: Non-traditional. People sit at talbes & bring food to share. Discuss certain topics through dinner, then listen to the sermon. A little long, but lots of connection. LOVE it!!

What would you change?
It's a little flakey. not a lot of consistency. They tend to change their programs a lot. But they're getting better. :)

Can I wear jeans?
YES! and shorts, too. and flip flops. and wear it all with a tie, if you want! ;~) I wouldn't recommend a suit. that sort of thing is generally looked down upon, anywhere in Santa Barbara. ;~)
