NLCF Generations Congregation

You're not alone. We believe true connection (with God, with each other, and with our own soul) is always possible, no matter your stage of life.

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, town, and the world to love every person.

WELCOME:

Come as you are! Grad students, families, kids, teenagers, grandparents, working, retired - we have a spot for you! We have a relaxed but reverent atmosphere - valuing connection and fellowship as much as worship and teaching. So come in, grab a donut and make yourself at home.

THE DEETS:

We meet on Sundays at 9:30 am at our S. Main St. location. We're pretty casual, so there's no need to dress any certain way!

1521 S Main St, Blacksburg, VA 24060

Kids:

We believe kids are a vital part of the kingdom of God.

NLCF strives to protect & keep our children/youth safe when under our care. Teachers & volunteers are vetted and background checks are issued for individuals who don't have one via employment or other volunteers roles. Teachers & volunteers are never in one-on-one environments with our children/youth.

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 NRV 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.

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.

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.
