The 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- Santa Ana campus.  Today, in addition to the main campus in Orange County (Santa Ana campus), they have also established two new campuses at Rancho Cucamonga. 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.
