October 22, 2025 - New Life Church presents Scare Tactics 'Ready or Not' on Sunday, October 26th at 6pm and Monday-Thursday, October 27-30th at 7pm nightly.
What is Scare Tactics?
Scare Tactics is an annual production by New Life Church in its 13th year. This production includes; live action drama, video scenes, costumes, make-up, light, sound effects, interaction with the audience, and a short gospel message. Each year's production is totally new; new story lines, characters, scenes, etc. Although this is a difficult task it is essential in order to keep the experience new and fresh each year. This presentation is based on a TV show by the same name, in which participants wish to scare friends or family. In our version they are trying to scare others about the importance of our decisions concerning eternity, i.e; Heaven or Hell.
Is Scare Tactics like "Hell House"?
In a word NO! Scare Tactics is a drama with a complete story, a short gospel message and then ends with a scene depicting the wonders of Heaven for those who have become Christians. The presentation has been compared to Heaven's Gate & Hells Flames, a production that has garnered national attention.
Although some elements are similar, the total experience of every Scare Tactics presentation is unique because Pastor Steve writes a new story each year with the same heart for reaching people with the gospel message as he does for his sermons.
New Life Church is located at 822 Hurst Street, Center, Texas or call (936) 598-3286 for more information.
