Living out our mission

We gather

Every weekend, we get together. You'll find these gatherings warm and engaging, with energetic music, practical Bible teaching, and a community full of authentic faith. Whether you've been a Christ follower for a while or you're just discovering Christianity, you'll learn what it means to be like Jesus.

We grow

Being like Jesus means spiritual transformation. It's at the heart of Jesus' last words to His followers: "Go and make disciples of all nations." Because of this, we are unapologetic about calling people to follow Jesus Christ in a real, everyday, and practical way. We believe spiritual growth happens best in community not isolation.

We go

Jesus made clear that our responsibility as His followers was to "go and make disciples of all nations." This is why we so strongly believe that the church isn't a building or a program. We believe that each of us is called to transform the culture. We do this through practical acts of service with community partners--at home,
in our neighborhoods and communities--and around the world.

Meet our pastors

Dr. Troy and Jana Jones

Dr. Troy H. Jones is the lead pastor of New Life Church. He and his wife of 31 years, Jana, have two daughters and five grandchildren. A native of the PNW, Troy grew up in the Seattle area and strongly believes God created the beauty of Seattle on the eighth day. Every Friday he unplugs and honors the Sabbath, spends the day with his wife, and enjoys a skinny latte at Starbucks.

Hardy Avenue Church Bus Ministry

The bus ministry brought children to church so they could experience the love of Jesus. One of those kids was a very young Pastor Troy!
