Our History
New Life began in 1978 as a prayer meeting of international students in Regent's Park, North London. It grew and became a Church, which met in a house in Regent's Park. At first it was called Regent's Park Christian Fellowship and was birthed out of the remarkable things God was doing in South Chard, Somerset.
The early meetings were 'in the round' no band or preacher, but each member bringing a Psalm, a Hymn a prophecy, a teaching.
As the Church grew it moved to a rented hall in Kentish Town, near the Tube Station for a few years, before moving to a Community Centre in Tufnell Park, North London and changing it's name to New Life Christian Fellowship.
For a season of around ten years we became a Children's Church - focussed on reaching the unchurched children in Kentish Town. During that time we started to reach the parents of the unchurched children and became a family Church - serving all ages.
We have worked hard for many years now in pioneering Cell Groups in the inner city and fully embraced the Cell values and structure.
In 1998 it moved to it's present location, meeting on Sunday's in a School Hall, just opposite Tufnell Park Tube Station. It changed it's name again in 2003 to New Life Church (North London) - everyone just calls us New Life!
