About the Church
Located in the suburbs of Seattle, New Life Fellowship is a growing church that attracts many who move from out of state to the expanding city. Due to tech giants such as Amazon and Microsoft, Seattle has become a hub for people all around our nation. Our mission is to expand God’s kingdom by making disciples of Christ that make disciples. We embody this through three values: worship, mission and community groups. Our vision is to plant campuses in the heart of Seattle and to surrounding cities that need the love of Christ.
