02 Activities

What the charity does

New Life Church is an independent evangelical church that began in 2009. We gather weekly on Sundays at Great Cornard Secondary School and during the week in small groups. Our heart is to support the local community, charities, and education, as they seek to support individuals and families in our area. NLC runs ministries throughout the week that directly aim to respond to those local needs.
