Support for Ukraine
In the weeks since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, over 10 million Ukrainians have been displaced and the numbers are only expected to grow. We’ve seen the images of homes and building destroyed, families separated, and many grieving the loss of their loved ones. As a church, we mourn with our Ukrainian brothers and sisters and we pray for peace over the nation and its people.
In response to this tragedy, New Life is partnering with the First Ukrainian Baptist Church of Seattle to send financial support to churches in Ukraine that are currently providing food, shelter, clothes, and basic necessities for those who have been displaced by war. We will be collecting donations until April 17th and the church will match all gifts up to $10,000 in support for this cause.

First Ukrainian Baptist Church has created a relief fund to support local churches in Western and Northern Ukraine (near the border of Poland) where most Ukrainians refugees are populated.
