New Life Fellowship

A loving community committed to peace building and sharing God’s radical love with the world.

Three ways we gather

We meet several times a month, in different places. All are welcome at any of them.

First & third Sunday

Zoom Bible Study

7:00 PM, online

Reading and discussing different passages and topics together. This is the gathering New Life started with.

Fellowship Service

In person, Wooster

A monthly service at Wooster Mennonite Church — familiar if you grew up in church, gentle if you did not.

New Life is a guest in their building once a month, not their congregation. Email Noah to confirm the date before you come.

Coffee & Conversation

A different shop each time

No agenda and no program. Just a standing invitation to connect, somewhere in Wayne County.

Everyone means everyone

Though we are a Mennonite ministry, we welcome people of all faith backgrounds — and those who are just curious, or who just want somewhere to belong.

We welcome people regardless of race, gender, sexuality, religion, disability, or status.

Life together

Pastor Noah Raines with his daughter

Our pastor

Noah Raines

Noah is a licensed minister through Central District Conference and Mennonite Church USA, currently pursuing a Master of Arts in Theology and Global Anabaptism. He loves a good cup of coffee and a good conversation about theology, sports, music, or movies — and he would love to have one with you.

Come as you are

Because we meet in different places each month, the simplest way to find us is to ask. Email Pastor Noah at noah@newlifewayne.com and he will tell you where we will be next. Come once, come every time — both are welcome.
