About
Why We Exist
Stepping into an unfamiliar church for the first time can be a little intimidating and maybe even uncomfortable. When you visit New Life, you can expect to feel welcomed and accepted. New Life is an intimate, dynamic church that is filled with singles, families, college students, children, teenagers, infants, and senior adults.
Whoever you are, you will be encouraged by our passionate worship team, relevant and creative presentations of the Gospel, and life-changing prayer times that will challenge and empower you. You will notice that New Life is very modern, up-beat, and fun; but, more importantly, we are a Christ-centered church. We invite you to come as you are, leave different than you came, and expect the unexpected.
Lost People Found.
We consider reaching people who are lost to be one of our greatest responsibilities. Our Sunday services are for people at all stages in their spiritual journey but are primarily designed for those who do not yet have a genuine relationship with God.
Found People Mentored
We believe life change happens in the context of relationships. Small Groups have one simple purpose: to bring people together. God created us to live in a community with others, and it is only then that we can experience the full life He intends for us.
Mentored People Equipped
The New Life Growth Track exists to help you discover and develop your purpose and live the full life God created for you. The Growth Track is made up of four steps, which guide you through next steps in your journey of being found, mentored, equipped, and engaged in your true identity.
Equipped People Engaged
All of us were created by God to engage with Him in the world around us. God has a place for you where your unique abilities and passions can impact the lives of others. We believe your life will never make sense until you are engaged in your purposed identity to add value to others.
Our Story
Senior Leaders Duane and Tammy Lowe envisioned planting a church with a simple goal – helping people connect with God so that they might reach their full potential spiritually, relationally and physically. Shortly after arriving in Universal City and the greater San Antonio area, with the help of two families, 14 people committed to seeing this vision become a reality, New Life Fellowship began on March 1, 1992. That Sunday 45 people attended our first service in a store front at the Coronado Square Shopping Center.
From the beginning, New Life Fellowship focused on reaching out to the non-churched community by building relationships through small groups; supporting missions and outreach. The life-giving message of the Gospel, the passion and joy of Sunday services, early morning prayer services and the simple energetic Spirit-led style of New Life Fellowship brought immediate growth. In its first year, the church grew to over 100 people in weekly attendance, and the majority of the people committed their lives to Christ, were baptized in water and Spirit. Signs, wonders and testimonies have always followed the believers that partnered in with the New Life Vision.
Today, we serve our community with two worship experiences each weekend while developing small groups; regular semester equip-classes; 21-day prayer and fasting events twice yearly and weekly prayer services to build healthy relationships and experience ongoing freedom in Christ. God is at work at New Life Fellowship. We invite you to see for yourself how exciting church can be when the focus is simple, and people are free to go after God with passion!
