The Commission
“Go therefore and make disciples...”
The mission of New Life Church is aligned with the commission Jesus gave to His disciples: Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Every member plays a vital role in this community mission of making Jesus' disciples.
The Vision
New Life Church envisions creating a community of authentic believers and transforming our town through the life-changing reality of the gospel. We aim to see people come to know Jesus as their King and Savior. Our local church is part of God's wider family, comprising all nations, backgrounds, and ethnicities, fulfilling the prophecy in Isaiah 2:2-4.

New Life Church has been a part of Rugby in various forms for many years.
In its current form, the church began meeting in a local school in Brownsover in 2000.
Following God's call, we relocated to the town center in 2006 and continued to meet in a school hall.
By 2009, we had raised enough funds to purchase the Temple buildings on Railway Terrace.
As our congregation grew, we moved to our current location in a former car garage in 2012, which we have been developing ever since.
Expanding the Vision

- Giving: Embracing the widow's lesson of never out-giving God.
- Networking: Building relationships beyond the local community.

EPHESIANS 4:11-13 (NIV)
"So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ."
