WHO
WE ARE
The Heart of New Life
New Life began as a small Bible study group in 1990. Eight months later, on May 5, 1991, its first church service began in Alabang, south of Metro Manila. Since then, the Lord has caused the church to grow tremendously. This is truly a testimony of God’s infinite goodness and awesome power.
We believe in the integrity and power of the Word of God, and in the truth that every person is of great value and is important to Him. We are, therefore, committed to demonstrate His love, His grace and His compassion to people. We believe when lives are changed, a nation is reached, and we make an impact to this world as well.
Currently, there are 51 New Life locations in the Philippines, Asia, and the United Kingdom. With one heart and one mind, New Life churches are fulfilling the call and the vision given by God to Paul and Shoddy Chase, Founders and Senior Pastors of New Life, which is to build strong local churches to the glory and praise of God. Together, we are lifting up the name of Jesus and making Him known.
Our identity is the perceived visual aspect of who we are. It is not necessarily what we present ourselves to be. Rather, it supports who we already are.
The foundation of THIS NEW LIFE is Jesus Christ. This is visually represented as a building’s foundation and support structure, and the church as wise master builders.
BUTRESSES are part of a building’s foundational and support structure. Most commonly seen in Gothic and Baroque Cathedrals, they allow these churches to be built increasingly higher, but at the same time offering the building solid support from lateral movements (i.e. earthquakes), making the buildings ‘unshakeable’.
Our foundation is in the living Word, who is Jesus Christ. He is the rock upon whom our church is built. As a wise master builder, New Life serves as the supporting structure that, together with the Foundation (Jesus Christ), builds up and strengthens the body of believers (the church) to increasingly greater heights.
New Life, as a church, is also perceived as a place of rest and acceptance. It is where people can feel a sense of family and home. A place of safety and stability.
