History
There was a need for a Lutheran church in Bolingbrook and in March of 1969, New Life was the name chosen because of all the growth and new life springing up from cornfields. In March of 1970, we were an official church serving the Bolingbrook community. While the town might look very different, meeting the needs of people in Bolingbrook and surrounding communities has not changed.
