NLCF Collegiate Congregation

In an age of digital "connection," we are actually lonelier than ever. But we believe true connection (with God, with each other, and with our own soul) is possible.

BEHOLD.

BE BUILT.

BE SENT.

Join us as we dive into our belovedness, are formed to look like Jesus, and are sent out into our neighborhood, campus, and the world to love every person.

Plan A Visit

WELCOME

Why have a worship service in a lecture hall on campus? Because our congregation is meant to be where you are! Walk from your dorm, grab a bus, get a ride from a friend - and don’t forget to grab a donut on the way in. We have a relaxed but reverent atmosphere, whether your Sunday best is PJs or a dress, you’re welcome here.

Behold

the work of Christ in and around us

New Life Christian Fellowship is a non-denominational Christ-centered, Spirit-empowered, church community serving Blacksburg, Christiansburg, and the greater New River Valley area. We pull from the rich, deep, and extensive 2000 year long faith tradition of the church in order to love God and love our neighbors. In our theology, we affirm the Nicene and Apostles creeds. 

  • Read more about our values here

    NLCF was founded in 1989 on the campus of Virginia Tech as a church by and for college students. We have grown over the years to include two congregations - Collegiate and Generations, both focused on making disciples in the name of Jesus. Our main value is also our mission and posture - Hospitality. We see this posture as one of the main ways the New Testament church incarnated the gospel message of God’s reconciling work in Jesus and through the Holy Spirit as a signpost to a weary world. (Acts 2:42ff, 2 Cor 5:11-21). As people come through our doors, we desire to equip them to carry God’s love with them into their homes, classrooms, work spaces, and friendships. 

Be built

up together to follow Him

As the church, we are the Missio Dei - the “Mission of God,” extending His grace, mercy, and forgiveness to the place he has called us. We believe that our faith is best lived out among a community of fellow believers, so our emphasis is on life together in several spaces - large group worship and teaching, mid-week bible studies and fellowship, small group accountability, and one on one discipleship.
