The New Life Mennonite Church, Downingtown, Pennsylvania, USA, began in 1982 as an outreach of the Hopewell Mennonite Church in Elverson. Mervin S. Stoltzfus and his wife, Ruth, were the founding leaders of the group.

New Life became a member of the Atlantic Coast Conference in March 1985.

The New Life Mennonite Church was no longer listed in the 2001 Mennonite Directory and presumably closed in about 2000, perhaps because the demographic of the area was changing.
