Welcome to our Prime Life
55+ Ministry at New Life Church!
The fastest growing population segment in North Carolina is the senior adult segment. We believe God has called us to reach out and build a strong, beautiful community of the family of God for the 55+ age group here at New Life Church. We are seeking to be positioned to build a strong community among our 55+ group at New Life while reaching those across the street and around the world through local outreach and missions. Ministry and biblical community don't stop at 55, you're just entering the Prime of your Life.
What We Do
Thursday Morning Gatherings: Here at New Life we believe that gathering and grouping together in community are crucial to walking like Jesus walked. Our Prime Life group meets every Thursday at 9:30 AM for fellowship, Bible study, discussion, and food.
Homebound and Hospital Visits: A huge part of the reason Prime Life was started was to provide spiritual care for those who are homebound or receiving inpatient care at hospitals.
Local Ministry Projects and Global Mission Trips: As a church we exist to help people find and follow Jesus here in Asheville and around the world.
Social Events: Can't join our weekly Thursday gatherings but still want to be connected into the Prime Life community? Join one of our social events!

A Message from Pastor Steve...
Hi Friend,
Welcome to our Prime Life 55+ Ministry. We believe God has called us to reach out and build a strong, beautiful community of the family of God for the 55+ age group here at New Life Church. Let me introduce myself and as you look through this landing page, you can see more of who we are and what we are called to do. I grew up here in the Asheville area and after meeting my wife at Southwestern Baptist Seminary in Ft. Worth Texas, having our first child and pastoring several churches from the coast of North Carolina to the coast of California, we were called to start New Life Church here in Asheville in 1997.
After serving for sixteen years as the pastor of New Life, I joined the staff of the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina as a Missions Catalyst. I transitioned out of that ministry after twelve years and was asked to come back to New Life as the Pastor of Care and Senior Adults.
We have now launched the Prime Life 55+ Ministry and have already seen God do some amazing things. The fastest growing population segment in North Carolina is the senior adult segment. We are seeking to be positioned to build a strong community among our 55+ group at New LIfe, but also reach across the street and around the world in local outreach and missions.
I would like to invite you to join us in our Thursday morning gathering for a light breakfast, Bible study, discussion and prayer. We will also be developing a homebound and hospital visitation team, will be doing local ministry projects and also some international mission trips. We will plan some social events and fun trips along with the ministry opportunities to serve each other in the family of God.
If I can answer any questions or if you would just like to get acquainted, feel free to give me a call at 828-772-1908 or reach out by email at sharris@nlcca.org.
Blessings,
Steve Harris
Care Pastor
