History
On March 23, 2008, Easter Sunday, NLC launched with a vision to love people far from God and move them to life in Christ. From day one, Pastor Josh Gagnon, his wife Jennifer, and a group of 12 people desired to create a church that unchurched people would love to attend. From that first Sunday until today, NLC has seen God do what many people have said was impossible in New England, the least churched region of America, as thousands of people have made the decision to follow Jesus! In fact, in 2014, Next Level Church was named the 5th fastest growing church in America by Outreach magazine! Through the power and favor of God, NLC quickly outgrew its location in Newington, NH. It launched locations in Epping, NH; Portsmouth NH; Portland, Maine; and soon to be Concord NH. Since then, Jesus has continued to change lives and grow His church, and as a result, the multisite vision continues to expand as we open more locations to love even more people and reach new communities.
