The Hopewell Mennonite Church, Bernville, Pennsylvania, USA began in 1985 as an outreach church of the Hopewell District of the Atlantic Coast Conference, particularly the Reading congregation.

The group initially met in the Bernville Grange Hall but began construction of its own facility in fall 1988.

In 1997 the congregation changed its name to New Life Christian Fellowship. In 2004, the New Life Christian Fellowship withdrew from the Atlantic Coast Conference and Mennonite Church USA. It changed its name to Grace Reformed Fellowship, and in 2022 described itself as an independent Reformed congregation that accepted the London Baptist Confession of 1689 as the basis of its statement of faith.
