BASE Life Ministries @ New Covenant Lutheran Church

What is BASE Life?
Have you ever heard of BASE Jumping? BASE is an acronym for Building, Antennae, Span, Earth, and thus represents the fixed-objects from which BASE jumps are made.

Here at New Covenant, we like to talk about BASE Life which is our ministry for and with Middle School Youth and their parents. For us, BASE stands for the Bible, Accountability, Serving and Eternal Life/Forgiveness. These are the foundations or the BASE from which we jump into life as followers of Jesus.

BASE Life is an innovative approach to youth ministry that will guide your sons and daughters into a relationship with Jesus that will help them to make healthy decisions for their lives. They will learn how to interact in a diverse community experiencing the abundant power of Jesus Christ. That's the goal of BASE Life: to lead youth to a place where they will discover Jesus, and to a place where they can confidently and publicly affirm their faith in Him!

BASE Life
BASE Life meets on Wednesday evenings September through May. The evening consists of:
  • A shared meal as families
  • Large group gatherings with music, games, and teaching
  • A learning activity
  • Small groups
BASE Life Covenants
Covenant 1 is for those who want to be involved, but aren't ready for confirmation. Covenant 2 is a more intensive program leading to confirmation.
