About the community
Meet New Life Fellowship
New Life Fellowship began meeting in June 2025. Founded by Pastor Noah Raines, it first met as a Zoom Bible study, and what started as a vision to create a new type of community has blossomed into a growing ministry of people from many different backgrounds and faith traditions.
Though New Life is a Mennonite ministry, it welcomes people of all faith backgrounds—and those who are just curious, or who just want somewhere to belong—regardless of race, gender, sexuality, religion, disability, or status. Everyone means everyone.
Looking for an inclusive, Jesus-centered church in Wooster or Wayne County, Ohio? New Life Fellowship would love to meet you.
When & where
- Zoom Bible study on the 1st and 3rd Sundays at 7 p.m.
- A monthly fellowship service in person at Wooster Mennonite Church
