About New Life
Our Story
How our church family began in Carmen
New Life in God's Word (NLIGW Carmen) started with a simple vision: to love God, love people, and bring hope to our community in Carmen, Davao del Norte.
Over the years, our church has grown from a small gathering into a thriving family of Life Groups. We meet in homes, schools, and neighborhoods throughout Carmen to share life, build genuine friendships, and support one another.
Our goal is simple: help every person discover their God-given purpose. From your very first visit to becoming a confident leader in your family and community, we are here to walk with you every step of the way.

To share God's love with everyone in Carmen, build strong families, and raise compassionate leaders who make a positive difference in the world.
