Our Story

Nearly 30 years ago, a group of men from various area churches began gathering every Saturday morning to pray for a Christ-centered, Bible-based church in Wanamingo. God answered their prayers, and in 1999, a core group of families—supported by First Baptist Church in West Concord—launched New Life Church.

In the early days, NLC was a "church in a box," meeting in a school and setting up everything from nursery items to sound equipment each Sunday. In 2004, God provided a permanent home, allowing the church to grow and expand its ministries both locally and globally.

Today, New Life Church is committed to spreading the Gospel, serving the community, and strengthening faith through Bible studies, youth programs, missions, and outreach. We are excited to see what God has in store for the future!

  • Jesus Christ is the Son of God who died for our sins and rose again.

  • The Holy Spirit is present and at work in every believer’s life.

  • Man was created in God’s image, but his sin separates him from God.

  • The Church is Christ’s body and the key instrument of God’s working in the world today.
