New Life community Church History
New Life Community Church has been a part of the community for more than 60 years. It has seen periods of growth and abundant blessings, and many episodes of difficulty and challenge. It has failed to replace an aging church family with younger persons and families that can continue the worship and ministry. Hence the body has dwindled to a mere handful, and without revitalization will likely fade completely away in the months ahead.
THE CHURCH THAT NEEDS NEW LIFE
In the mid 1950s Orlando businessman Fred Falkner honored the memory of his wife by planting a small church “back in the pine trees” of Plantation Estates, a neighborhood he was developing northwest of the city. A number of families from First Alliance Church formed the core of the small congregation, and an engineer from Martin Marietta was called to be the first pastor. The community was growing up around the church, which itself drew on the energies of the young families moving into the new neighborhood, and flourished.
Generations of families came to Christ over the years, and Grace Falkner Memorial Chapel thrived as a local church of the Christian and Missionary Alliance. Sometimes the ministry flourished, reaching several hundred from the neighborhood at one point. Other times were more difficult, as children, then grandchildren, grew up and left to pursue life around the world. In 1987 the name was changed to Northside Alliance Church. However, a critical time in the life of the church came when very few of the original members remained, and all of their children had relocated elsewhere.
By 2005 the decline was alarming, and another businessman in the church (who had actually been a business partner with Fred Falkner!) concluded that moving the church from “back in the neighborhood” to “out on Main Street” was the catalyst needed for renewal. He purchased a piece of property on Forest City Road (our Main Street) which he donated for the church to relocate, and the grueling process of planning, permitting, and building a new facility was begun, not to be completed until 2011. Early in the project the name was changed a second time to New Life Community Church, with a view to setting past problems and stigma behind and establishing a “new life” in a new facility. The process was exhausting, and the congregation lost a number of core families in it.
The drawn out project finally produced a beautiful, functional facility, with a mortgage that was small in ratio to the value of the completed campus, but large in proportion to the number of members.
