About Us:

New Life Community Church is a local Christian community church in the Burnaby, Lougheed area. Planted as a community church in the ‘70’s, in recent years New Life has become increasingly multicultural, and more representative of the neighborhood. The redevelopment of the Lougheed Mall property into the ‘City of Lougheed’ development, along with densification in the whole area around New Life’s site, is creating a new opportunity and challenge for us to engage well with our neighbourhood.
