New Life Church, Evangelical church in Colorado Springs, United States
New Life Church is a nondenominational evangelical megachurch in Colorado Springs. Its main sanctuary, the Living Room, seats 8,000, while the original 1990 sanctuary, the Theater, seats 2,000. The campus also includes the World Prayer Center, a Student Center, and an octagonal worship space with a pale blue paneled roof.
Ted Haggard founded New Life Church in 1984 as an independent congregation meeting in his home, moving through strip-mall offices before the 2,000-seat theater sanctuary was dedicated in 1990. The World Prayer Center opened in 1998, and the 8,000-seat Living Room sanctuary followed in 2005. Brady Boyd became senior pastor in August 2007 and resigned in June 2025.
The congregation shapes member life through programs like children's education, youth groups, and assistance for refugees and people affected by disasters. These varied activities show how the community expresses its faith in practice.
The campus sits off Interstate 25 in northern Colorado Springs, with parking lots beside the octagonal main sanctuary and the long low building next to it. Entrances are marked "MAIN ENTRANCE" and "WORSHIP CENTER"; a banner on the front wall lists Sunday services at 9 am and 11 am. The World Prayer Center and the 1990 theater, which seats 2,000, stand on the same grounds.
The campus hosts the World Prayer Center, which operates specialized prayer rooms and support systems dedicated to internet-based prayer initiatives. This center works on prayer efforts that extend beyond the local community and focus on global concerns.
