Who We Are
Our Church IdentityNew Life Christian Fellowship was founded in 1989. For almost the first two decades, the focus was primarily on college students and Sunday worship was held on campus at Virginia Tech and for some of those years, at Radford University. Members also gathered in apartments and homes for weekly small groups.
A community-focused service began in 2006 in Downtown Blacksburg, and in 2012 the congregation from this service began using the nickname “New Life” while the student-focused congregation continued using the nickname “NLCF.”
Today, we function as one church who chooses to worship as two congregations spread over three Sunday services and various weekly small groups.

Our Vision
In our New Life congregation, you’ll find a blend of people who love God and are committed to helping each other walk faithfully through life. Marrieds, retired, singles, grad students, and families give us the opportunity to share with and learn from each other at any phase of life. Read More >>
Our Leaders
New Life Christian Fellowship is lead by a team of pastors who share leadership together and practice mutual submission to one another. Currently we have six pastors overseeing the entire church. We also have a team of deacons that assists the pastors, making up a Pastor/Deacon team. We believe that God equips his church with leaders specifically in the areas of apostles, prophets, teachers, evangelists, and shepherds, and we have others who serve in various full-time or part-time staff positions, working with specific populations (children, youth and college students).
