Join us for an “Extreme Makeover” of New Life Community’s student center to create a safe and welcoming space where youth in our community can truly belong. The needs are great, and the opportunity to make a Kingdom impact in our community is even greater. Here’s how you can get involved:
Sign up for one or more shifts to serve! Bring your family, friends, coworkers, and even your neighbors. In addition to the student center “Extreme Makeover,” we will have all kinds of opportunities for every skillset and ability to get involved and make a difference!

“Teach those who are rich in this world not to be proud and not to trust in their money, which is so unreliable. Their trust should be in God, who richly gives us all we need for our enjoyment. Tell them to use their money to do good. They should be rich in good works and generous to those in need, always being ready to share with others. By doing this, they will be storing up their treasure as a good foundation for the future so that they may experience true life.”
– 1 Timothy 6:17-19 (NLT)
We believe that we have been blessed to be a blessing, and NLC/LifeWORKS has important and urgent needs that we can help with. NLC does an amazing job of seeing and caring for those falling through the cracks in society. Consider this:
So, as a LifeGuide family, we want to encourage and bless the socks off NLC through our radical generosity so that they can reach even more people in ways they have only dreamed about!
A big “thank you” to our community partners for helping to support this event:
It is going to take a lot of us to pull off everything we have planned! There will be meaningful and helpful opportunities for everyone to join in—no special skills required. All you need is the willingness to pitch in! Some of the jobs available include:
You and your crew can sign up for one or more time slots. We will provide continental breakfast, lunch, dinner, and plenty of snacks. Don’t worry if you have to come late or leave a bit early. Available shifts on Friday, April 26th and Saturday, April 27th:
Significant funds are needed to complete the Student Center Extreme Makeover and other weekend projects! 100% of all donations will go directly toward our weekend projects, with a dollar-for-dollar match up $25,000! All donations are tax-deductible and will be processed through NLC. Donations will go toward purchasing:
Our goal is to max out—even exceed—the generous $25,000 match we have received.
Note: Donations will be collected directly by New Life Community, a registered 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit. Please be sure to select “LifeGuide Service Project” under the donation category.
Through their LifeWorks ministry, NLC provides furniture, furnishings, and home supplies to families moving from homelessness into homes. The goal is to help families get off on the right foot and make their apartment feel like home from day one! NLC also provides bicycles for those who need transportation, enabling them to get to work, doctor’s appointments, or wherever they may need to go. We are looking to FILL THE PARKING LOT with these much-needed items:
Dropoff Instructions: You may bring any of the above items to the NLC parking lot anytime during the event (9am-8pm on Friday and 9am-4pm on Saturday).
Pickup Available: If you have larger items that you need assistance moving/hauling (e.g., couch), please let us know! We will have a moving/hauling team available to help pick up large items.
Note: Please do not bring old electronic devices, such as VCRs, old-style TVs, or computers. These types of items are not useful and are expensive to dispose of.
Absolutely! There are so many ways to help: Organizing, arranging, cleaning, keeping the work crews nourished, writing letters of encouragement to single parents, landscaping, picking up supplies, and more. Just sign up; we will put you to work!
In addition to the above, we will be painting, doing light construction, assembling and setting up furniture, setting up AV, landscaping, and anything else that Ryan and his team can use help with!
We ask that you sign up for time slot(s) so that we can plan the projects and food. But, come late or leave early if you need to, no problem—just come when you can!
Absolutely! Please invite your family, friends, coworkers, and neighbors! This is a “the more, the merrier” type event!
100% of your donation will go directly to NLC/LifeWorks to fund the project (and be matched dollar for dollar up to $25,000)! All food and other expenses are being covered by LifeGuide and other generous partners.
All donations are tax-deductible. We hope to exceed our $50,000 goal to begin funding a part-time, after-school program staff sometime in the future. There are many kids in downtown Carlisle without a safe, encouraging, and fun place to go after school—let alone a place to experience the acceptance and love of Jesus. We think this program is going to grow quickly and become an impactful and essential part of the community support system!
We have been long-time fans of the work New Life Community does for those in need and have supported them through the LifeGuide Impact Fund for many years! (We created the LifeGuide Impact Fund in 2014 as a way to support and magnify the efforts of organizations making a positive impact in their communities. And each month, we contribute a percentage of our proceeds to this fund.)
Through the LifeGuide Impact Fund, YOU—our clients—are playing a direct role in the transformational work taking place through New Life Community Church. From plugging families into affordable housing to furnishing that housing, providing reliable transportation, helping break the cycle of addiction, finding jobs, and so much more, New Life Community is a true example of what it looks like to be the hands and feet of Jesus in our community!
