New Life!

A loving shelter pursuing the face and return of the Lord

Our Story

Mission & Meaning

While truth can be elusive, it can still be found. Jesus proclaimed Himself the son of God, but it was through his actions and ultimate sacrifice that proved Him the son of God. That is the path that we strive to follow - a path paved with action.

New Life is committed to befriending followers and non-followers of God, acting in a compassionate manner and being subject to one another. We have learned that honest gestures and beneficence is the most meaningful way to embody the love of God. We welcome you to join us.

Placing extreme value on community and fellowship, New Life! is a  church dedicated to fostering relationships with God and understanding God's word. While we are devout followers, we do believe it is necessary to ask questions and explore the teachings of Jesus and the Bible further. It's as much about asking why as it is about asking how.

Pastor David and Diane Carter

Sensing the Lord’s leading to begin a new work, we launched the church in March of 1989, meeting for our first four years in Fox Mill Elementary School. The Lord then opened the door for us to move into a renovated warehouse in Herndon, Virginia, where we spent the next eleven years and experienced many blessings. By God’s grace, we were able to purchase land, build a new facility in Sterling, VA, and move into our current church home in 2006.

Psalm 91:1-2 (NLT)“Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty. This I declare about the Lord: He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; he is my God, and I trust him.”
Psalm 27:4 (NLT) “The one thing I ask of the Lord-the thing I seek most-is to live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, delighting in the Lord’s perfections and meditating in his Temple.”
Revelation 22:20 (NLT)“He who is the faithful witness to all these things says, “Yes, I am coming soon!”
