About New Life Church

New Life Church is an independent Christian church that is well connected to the wider Church in Fremantle and Perth.

Starting with a small group of less than 30 people we have now grown to a thriving Christian community of over 200 with multiple ministries in the region including Fremantle Christian College, Jubilee Welfare Fund and programs for adults, young adults, youth and children.
