New Life Church
New Life Church (NLC) is a 25-year-old congregation of approximately 100+ that appreciates solid, exegetical preaching. The church strives to provide believers with a climate in which to worship the Lord, develop personal spiritual growth by the exercise of our God-given gifts, and a heart to love each other and attract and lead our community into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. We believe the Bible is the foundation for both our faith and our daily lives. Currently we are being served by an intentional interim pastor. We have been using this time to prepare for the next chapter of what God wants us to do in SE Minnesota and beyond. We are going through a strategic development process and are building goals to accomplish in the next 12-18 months. Our new pastor will join a team of elders to help us bring glory to God.
NLC serves communities in a 20-mile radius with a population of 75,000.
