History

New Life Grantham was launched in June 2007. The church began with six adults and two children
as the result of a passion to see an expression of what God was doing in our church in Lincoln rise up
and take hold in Grantham and the surrounding area.

It is a joint initiative of New Life Lincoln and the Ground Level Network. The church is an expression of New Life Lincoln which means that we are one church but simply meet thirty miles down the A1.

Pastor Stuart Bell is the Senior Pastor, and since Grantham’s launch two other expressions have been planted so that at the time of writing New Life has four locations – Lincoln, Grantham, Brigg and Metheringham.

During the summer of 2007 the church experienced numerical growth and met in a small community centre on Tuesday nights. From October 2007 we began to meet on Sundays in the Kings School in one of the classrooms, and by the summer of 2008 God had wonderfully moved and our church family had grown from the eight who launched New Life to seventy people.

In September 2008 we had outgrown the classroom and moved into the large main hall at the Kings School. Wonderfully, in God’s grace we continued to grow both numerically and spiritually and today we are connecting with more than two hundred people.

Vision

In September 2011, Stuart Bell spoke about the vision of the New Life churches, including Grantham. You can see the video here.
