About us
Every weekend, all children experience safe, age-appropriate environments where the Bible is taught in a creative, engaging, and relevant way.

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 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.

Our beliefs
We believe that the entire Bible is the inspired, infallible and inerrant Word of God and that men were moved by the Spirit to write the books of Scripture (2 Pet 1:20-21). The words of the Bible are the primary source for teaching and equipping Christians for a life of righteousness (2 Tim. 3:16-17).
We believe in the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit that empowers each Christian to live a godly life (Rom. 8:11). The body of each believer is a temple in which the Holy Spirit is present (1 Cor. 6:19-20). Therefore, every believer must foster a life of being filled with the Spirit, which is both an initial and an ongoing experience for Christians (Ephesians 5:18). The Holy Spirit provides the Christian with power for living, understanding of spiritual truth, guidance in doing what is right, and spiritual gifts to edify the church.
We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, in His virgin birth (Matt. 1:23), His sinless life (Heb. 4:15; 7:26), His atoning death on the cross (1 Cor. 15:3), His resurrection on the third day (John 11:25; 1 Cor. 15:4), His exaltation to the right hand of the Father (Heb. 1:3), and that He will return again to reign as Lord of lords (Acts 1:11; 1 Tim. 6:13-16).
We believe there is one God who is the Creator and the Ruler of the universe (Gen. 1:1). He eternally exists in three persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit (Matt. 28:19).
We believe that human beings were created in the image of God to have fellowship with Him (Gen. 1:26), but became alienated from that relationship through sinful disobedience (Gen. 3). As a result, humanity is totally incapable of coming back into a right relationship with God by one's own effort (Rom. 5:12-19).
We believe that for every Christian the old way of living for oneself is in the past and the new way of living for Christ is for the present and for the future (2 Cor. 5:17). By obedience to the Scriptures and daily yielding to the Spirit we will mature and become conformed to the image of Christ, which should be exhibited by love for God and for one's neighbor (Matt. 22:37-39).
We believe that Christ's power to heal, evident in the Gospels, is available to all believers today through his atoning sacrifice (Isaiah 53:4-5) The church is to lay hands on the sick, anoint them with oil, and pray faithfully for their recovery (James 5:14-15).
We believe that the shed blood of Jesus Christ on the cross solely provides for the forgiveness of sins (Mark 10:45). Therefore, salvation is received only when a person places his faith in the death and resurrection of Christ as the sufficient payment for one's acknowledged sin (Acts 2:38). This salvation is not earned but a gift available by the grace of God alone (Eph. 2:8-9).
We believe that Christians who have died will be reunited with those still alive at the second coming of Jesus Christ (1 Thess. 4:16-17). This event will be followed by the millennial reign of Christ (Rev. 20:1-6), a final judgment (Rev. 20:11-15), and the appearance of a new heaven and a new earth (Rev. 21) (Rev. 22).
Our history
Edith and Ellen Brandt
The Brandt sisters had a burning desire to reach Renton for Jesus. New life started in the Hansen bicycle shop in.

A Growing Church
A passion for children drove new life to develop an innovative ministry that quickly grew, requiring us to build a new facility only a couple years later!

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!

Breaking Ground
20 years later, we needed another building. The new facility on Maple Valley Highway allowed us to reach more people.

The Church on Maple Valley Highway
After years of work and prayer the new church building is completed on Maple Valley Highway.

A New Auditorium
Over 4,000 people were in attendance at the first Easter service in the new auditorium.

Drive-In Stage
During the pandemic the pastors of New Life preached outdoors in the rain, wind, heat, and snow.

Covington Campus
The Covington Campus launches to reach families in the surround areas of Maple Valley, Covington and Black Diamond. A 20 year dream finally comes to fruition.

We love connecting with our community. Feel free to stop by during office hours for information, assistance, or just to say hello. Our church office is located at 3300 Maple Valley Hwy, Suite 100, Renton, WA. We are on the lower level of the building.
At NLChurch, our theological framework is built on a clear foundation: Jesus is Lord. From creation to redemption, we believe the story of God is one we’re invited into—anchored by the Word of God, shaped by the Work of the Spirit, and expressed through a life of loving God and loving people. Our core beliefs center on four pillars: God made it, we broke it, Jesus fixes it, and we share it. This simple yet profound creed grounds our commitment and fuels our mission as a church.
