 Next mission trip: 2020 NEWlife worldwide ministries is a ministry of discipleship, committed to helping defeated believers find victory over the daily obstacles of life. Many discipleship programs are built on what we don’t have – a satisfying marriage, a good witnessing schedule, effective bible study techniques, and so on. NEWlife builds on what the Christian has – the Lord Jesus living IN the believer, resident and ABIDING there by personal invitation. There is nothing that the nearness of the Lord will not cure. It is when we understand the abiding principle of John 15, that we begin to enjoy the abundance of Him who is Abundant Life. In this analogy of the branch abiding in the vine, our life is grafted into His life. All that He is flows through us, to produce nothing less than His Life! Our only effort is to REST. Amazing! NEWlife works with the Christian church. We are not commanded to build churches, we are commanded to make disciples. As we make disciples who are built into Him, we believe that the Lord Jesus will fulfill His promise to build His church NLCF official website logo Formation1989Location
Membership 300Pastors Steve Englund, Wendy Chinn, Robbie Poff, Jeanette Staats, Kristal PoffStaff 9Websitenlcf.netNew Life Christian Fellowship (NLCF) is an evangelical Christian church in Blacksburg, Virginia that ministers to the Virginia Tech and New River Valley communities. An estimated 200 worshipers attend one of the church's three weekly gatherings, most of whom are college students attending services on the Virginia Tech campus. Beliefs and practicesRegarding the Apostles' Creed and the Nicene Creed, members of NLCF "stand together with Christians everywhere across the centuries that have embraced these basic statements of faith. These creeds form the core expression of our faith."[1] The tripartite mission of NLCF is to:
Although NLCF's weekly services draw large crowds, much of the church life takes place in small groups. Members meet on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, or Thursdays in "homegroups" that attract between 20 and 40 in the same age bracket.[2] Smaller "lifegroups" with 5 to 10 members, typically all male or all female, also meet for more weighty spiritual discussions, Bible study, and prayer. Because the majority of NLCF's members are college students, the church's staff members must raise support for their own salary. This process typically lasts at least nine months after training. HistoryJR Woodward founded in church in 1989 as a part of Great Commission Ministries, a quasi-denominational organization. NLCF leaders have cited the church's "sending capacity" as being more important than its "seating capacity." In 2003, Woodward and other members of NLCF planted a church in Los Angeles named Kairos Los Angeles, and in 2008, NLCF partnered with a church in Maryland to establish another seed church in Richmond, Virginia. Closer to home, the church branched off into two congregations in 2007: a "downtown" congregation that serves non-student New River Valley residents and a Virginia Tech congregation that caters to the younger student population.[3] NLCF also purchased the old Red Cross building in Blacksburg to increase its visibility in the local community, although renovations have delayed the new site's opening. Virginia Tech shootingFollowing the Virginia Tech shootings in 2007, NLCF received widespread media coverage. Christianity Today reported that two NLCF members died in the shootings and ten others were somehow connected to the church in a feature article on the church.[4] NLCF pastor Jim Pace was a guest on Larry King Live and Good Morning America, and CNN created a video[5] of the church's memorial service.[6] Several other newspapers, magazines, and radio shows carried quotes from NLCF pastors. On the night of the shooting, Pace told a national audience on Larry King Live that the church was
In response, Dr. Phil McGraw applauded Jim Pace's comments and efforts on Larry King Live, saying, "God bless Pastor Pace for being on site and stepping up and providing a place for people to go to share their thoughts, share their feelings."[attribution needed] The morning after the shooting, Pace responded to a request on Good Morning America for a single comforting sentence by saying that "any sentence would probably just sound fairly trite." He also pointed to free will as part of the cause of the incident and encouraged people to draw closer to God.[8] The Washington Post reported that Pace said, "We learned evil is real and evil can hurt us, but God's love is real."[9] Matt Rogers, another NLCF pastor, was interviewed on NPR's Morning Edition, encouraging people to "overcome evil with good".[10] Notes
