Our History
A Heart For Pennsylvania
Pastor David Salvador dreamed of planting a church with one simple goal: help people begin a relationship with Jesus and see their lives built on the foundation of the Bible. The vision was to develop a church that was life-giving, spirit-filled, and would embody the mission of reaching people and building lives.
Our Launch
With the help of a committed group of families, that vision became a reality as a team of 32 people gathered in the ballroom of a Holiday Inn in August of 2005. As the initial group grew, we began meeting at Foster High School in Middledale and formally launched New Life Community Church in May of 2006. The life-transforming message of the Gospel, passionate worship, and a commitment to pursuing authentic relationships brought continuous growth and decisions for Christ in our first two years as a church.
Our Name
As New Covenant believers, we have been given not just a new destination in Heaven someday, but we have been given a brand new life right here, right now. As New Life Community, we are committed to allowing the gospel to be lived out in each of our lives on a daily basis. We're looking forward to heaven, but we're rejoicing in our new life today!
The Early Days
After two and a half years of being a portable church in a school cafeteria, we leased our first permanent facility off of Silvern Road in Jasmine. From parking to classroom space, we quickly outgrew this building and God provided a solution in a converted storefront with a location in the heart of Dublin Square!
