Church Website

IThe New Life Christian Center of Orange County in southern California was established in April 2000. At the time, Pastor Andrew Chen received God’s calling to build a church in North America that is different from others, a cell group based church that has a specific mission and spurs revival. Their vision is to become a glorious church that is full of love, passing the torch down to generations, filled with compassion and focused on mission.  Currently they have Mandarin, English, young adult, and youth cell groups to fit everyone’s needs. The cell groups spread out in Los Angeles, Irvine, Temple City and Monterey Park, where there are dense Chinese populations. Their ministries focus on the family, marriage, parent child relationship, and prayers for healing. The purpose of this is to create a church for brothers and sisters to love God and love others, and to equip disciples and cultivate a strong next generation. At the same time their emphasis is on raising a compassionate church to care for the needy and injured in society. They planted two branch churches in Mexico City, the capital of Mexico, to care for the local Chinese immigrants and preach the gospel to them. Later, they also preached the gospel to the locals and expanded a Hispanic Mexico branch. Today, in addition to the main campus in Orange County (Santa Ana campus), they have also established two new campuses at Rancho Cucamonga and Arcadia. In addition, they expanded and planted Kaohsiung's New Life Church in 2015. They also have a great burden for mission, they especially focus on people and places that have never heard of the gospel.  Every year they sent short-term mission teams to places such as Mexico and Yunnan. They also participate in various projects to fund Syrian refugees and children who are displaced in Syria. They expect everyone to share the joy and satisfaction of the "New Life". 

位於南加州Irvine的橙縣新生命靈糧堂成立於2000年 4月,當時陳正榮牧師領受神的呼召要在北美建立一個與眾不同的教會,一個負有特定使命、帶動復興的小組型教會。他們的異像是要成為一個充滿熱愛、代代相傳、滿有憐憫及注重宣教的榮耀教會。目前他們有中文、英文、社青及青少年等適合每個人的小組,分佈在洛杉磯、Irvine南北各地及華人眾多的天普市及蒙特利公園市。他們非常重視家庭、婚姻、親子、醫治禱告等方面的事工,該堂小組事工的目的是要造就新生命的弟兄姐妹愛神愛人,並裝備門徒與栽培健壯的下一代,同時他們的重心也在興起一個滿有憐憫的教會,關心社會中有需要和受傷的人。他們成立了國際愛鄰公益協會,義務為所有移民提供服務,並在墨西哥的首都墨西哥市成立了兩間分堂,關心當地的華人移民,同時向他們傳講福音,後在也向當地人傳福音,並拓植了一間西裔的墨西哥分堂。如今,他們除了在橘縣的本堂(聖塔安娜牧區),又增加了庫卡蒙加牧區與亞凱迪亞牧區,另外他們也開拓了台灣高雄新生命靈糧堂。該堂對宣教也極有負擔,他們的焦點是那些未曾聽過福音的人與地,每年都派出短宣隊支援墨西哥、雲南等事工,並參與支持橋樑事工及種子計劃,資助敘利亞難民孩子和敘利亞國內流離失所的孩子,他們期望人人都能同享「新生命」的喜樂和滿足。願神祝福該教會,恩膏他們的服事,點燃他們的信心與愛心,帶下神復興的浪潮。

partner in prayer:

Lord, please touch the hearts of every member so that they can see the need for service and be willing to take steps of faith and devote themselves to the church’s ministry. Whether in worship, care, children, youth, evangelism, prayer, administration or other areas of service, please raise up more co-workers who are in line with your will to share the burden of ministry and make the church's service more prosperous. 

主啊,求祢感動每位會友的心,使他們能夠看見服事的需要,願意踏出信心的步伐,投入教會的事工。無論是在敬拜、關懷、兒童、青少年、傳福音、禱告、行政或其他服事領域,求祢興起更多合祢心意的同工,一同分擔事工的重擔,使教會的服事更加興旺。

Please grant the existing team strength and grace so that they will not get tired in their service, but will be renewed and joyful because of your love. Please help the team to be of one mind, support each other, and serve in love, not just relying on their own abilities, but completely looking to Your provision and guidance.

求祢賜給現有的團隊力量與恩典,使他們在服事中不疲乏,反而因祢的愛而得著更新與喜樂。求祢幫助團隊彼此同心合意,彼此扶持,在愛中服事,不單單倚靠自己的能力,而是完全仰望祢的供應與帶領。

Lord, we believe that the growth of the church requires more faithful workers. Just as Jesus said, "The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few." Please call us personally so that more people will respond to your call and be willing to Offer yourself as a vessel in Your hands to serve Your glory.

We entrust the church team and all services into Your hands. May Your will be done and may Your church prosper and become a blessing to this land!

主啊,我們相信教會的成長需要更多忠心的工人,正如耶穌所說:「要收的莊稼多,作工的人少。」求祢親自呼召,讓更多人回應祢的召喚,願意擺上自己,成為祢手中的器皿,為祢的榮耀而服事。

我們將教會的團隊與所有的服事交託在祢手中,願祢的旨意成就,使祢的教會更加興旺,成為這地的祝福!
