Are you coming for the first time?

We know that showing up to a new place for the first time can be intimidating, but at New Life Community Church it’s our desire that you feel right at home from the moment you pull into the parking lot! As a first-time guest, you are VIP to us so we'll be there with you every step of the way!

We're a place where every child has a church.

Our Kids Zone is available for children birth through sixth grade at every service. The care and growth of every child is our highest priority and our passion is to create exciting, Bible-driven, interactive lessons especially designed for your kids!

Leave the fancy clothes at home... if you want!

At New Life Community Church, there's no dress code (as long as you're dressed, we're good)! Some show up in suits or dresses, and others wear t-shirts and jeans. We want you to wear whatever makes you feel comfortable!

Zachary & Victory Adams

Pastoral Resident (Youth)

Zachary Adams is native to the San Bernardino Valley of Southern California. He grew up in a big family and was blessed by an even bigger church family that invested heavily in the lives of young people. At the age of 17 he felt called by God to commit to full-time ministry, so he moved to Chicago to attend Moody Bible Institute where he graduated with a B.A. in Biblical Languages. He later graduated with his M.Div from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. In May of 2020 he married his wife, Victory, whom he’s known since second grade. Zach and Victory live in Jefferson Park and love to serve the community of New Life Norwood Park, particularly through creating a loving youth group community, leading musical worship, and preaching the Word of God. Zach loves to read, watch movies, write, play music, be with friends, and marvel at the wonders of creation (especially birds).
