Our Story
Our lead Pastor Brett Andrews felt called to start a church in Northern Virginia to reach people who didn’t go to church. In 1993, starting with just a handful of people, New Life grew by serving the community with free fun family events, and with God’s blessing, we gained some momentum.
Today, we’re one church in three locations, helping people flourish through serving, church planting, and building the nZone – a sports facility designed to serve the community seven days a week. Everything we do is about creating safe places where people discover God daily.
We’ve all been where you are right now, asking, “Is there more to life than this?” Of course there is! We are a community of people like you exploring that question together on Sunday mornings and in Life Groups through the week. Look around our website to get to know us better, contact us with any questions and check out these messages to get a sense of who we are.
What does it even mean to be a Christian?
Lead Pastor Brett Andrews talked about that in this sermon from April 11, 2021.
What We Believe
The core mission of the church (those who follow Christ) is to help others hear and follow Jesus
The Bible is God’s reliable revelation
Sin has separated us from God
God makes reconciliation possible through Christ's death
This reconciliation is a gift from God
When people ask, how do we receive this gift, we answer like Peter did:
Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, each of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” Acts 2:38
Followers of Jesus are led and empowered by the Holy Spirit to live lives according to God’s design
