About Us

About Us

After hearing God’s call to plant a church in Mackay, Queensland, Ps Craig and Tuppy launched NewLife Church on April 11, 1999, with their three little ones all under the age of five. What began with just nine people gathered in their living room has since grown into a thriving church family of hundreds, meeting across multiple locations.

What We Believe

What We Believe

NewLife Church is comprised of people from many backgrounds and of various ages and ethnicities. NewLife Church is part of the Australian Christian Churches (ACC) movement. ACC is a movement of Pentecostal Churches in voluntary cooperation. Each church within the ACC is self-governing, but works in relationship with other churches in the movement for the purpose of mutual support and the furtherance of the gospel in Australia and overseas.

Frequently Asked Questions

NewLife Church is part of the ACC (Australian Christian Churches) movement

Absolutely! We’ve got something for every age. Our Kids Program runs for ages 1–12, we’ve got Youth for those in Grades 7–12, and plenty of Life Groups for adults of all ages to connect, grow, and build community. No matter what stage of life you’re in, there’s a place for you here!

There is no dress code to be part of NewLife Church - wear whatever you feel comfortable in!

All our services begin with God-glorifying worship, followed by a moment for our congregation to bring their tithes. After that, you'll hear a bible-based sermon before we finish off with a song. Our Service typically runs for an hour and a half, however, we encourage all attendees to stay back after the service to connect with each other. Stay for a coffee and a chat, and say hi to our amazing team - they'd love to help you get connected and find your next step.

On arrival, you’ll be greeted with a warm and friendly welcome from our team! When the service starts, our hosting team will direct everyone into the auditorium. Expect powerful worship, a faith-filled message, and a welcoming atmosphere. After the service, you’ll be offered a free coffee - and we’d love for you to hang around, meet a few people, and ask any questions you might have. Our team is here to help you feel right at home!

NewLife Kids is a service just for your kids, Ages 1-12 (or until Year 7). Your kids will learn all about Jesus in a way that’s fun, engaging and age appropriate. NewLife Kids is not a babysitting program - we believe in investing in your children so that they can learn, grow, and develop a solid faith foundation that will carry them through life. We use a Bible-based curriculum we’ve designed to make the gospel come alive and stick with them long after the service ends! You’re also welcome to keep your children with you in the main service, if you prefer. For mothers of young babies, we also have a dedicated Parents Room available anytime before, during, or after the service - a quiet, private and comfortable space where you can feed or change your baby as needed.

We believe in the biblical principle of tithing - giving your first, tenth, and best to the house of God - and we teach this to everyone who calls NewLife Church ‘home’. With that said, tithing and giving is completely voluntary and comes from a heart of faith and obedience, not obligation. If you’re new or just visiting, there’s absolutely no pressure to give. We’re just glad you’re here!

We are so excited to get you connected! whether you want to join a life group, complete our growth track, take part in our missions programs or partner with us there is a next step for you! Speak to one of our friendly team located at the info desks and they'd love to help you get started and find the best next step for you.
