Who We Are
This historic church which has met on the corner of Seminary and Lill for almost 125 years has undergone some changes. What has been Seminary Avenue Community Church is now New Life Community Church, Lincoln Park. We are 3 blocks away from DePaul University nestled into the Lincoln Park community where you’ll encounter a vibrant, brand new congregation—launched in the Spring of 2008.
We gather, sing, pray, serve, teach, lead and celebrate every week, in larger gatherings and in small groups. We love the city of Chicago and we want to serve the people of this city and the people of Lincoln Park in a way that points them to Jesus.
Vision
What we are growing up to be
New Life’s big vision is to reach and gather 1% of the city of Chicago (30,000 people) in Jesus’ name. We do that by planting life-giving congregations of different sizes and cultures all over the Chicagoland.
At New Life Lincoln Park our vision is to work with our other North side locations to help accomplish that 1% vision in this region of the city by birthing new congregations in communities like Uptown, Rogers Park, Logan Square, Ravenswood, Lincoln Square, Humboldt Park and Edgewater. We envision a web of interdependent locations that serve their specific communities in Jesus name with a spirit of cooperation and blessing.
And as we do, we will also be a connector of other life-giving churches and leaders so that we can cooperate in loving the city and bringing Jesus to the city.
