Our Story
New Life Church began in 1996 when a group of people had a dream of planting a new church in the growing Lincoln-Way area. Ever since its founding, New Life has been a faith community that seeks to grow in life with God. We are wholehearted in our desire to know Jesus more clearly, to love Jesus more deeply, and to follow after Jesus more closely in this world. We believe that God has called us together to be His people and that He is calling us to share His love and blessing with our community.

Roots
New Life is a diverse group of people from all walks of life, and we have our roots in the Christian Reformed Church.
