Newspring

In the fall of 1996 God gave Perry Noble a passion to one day plant a church that seriously made a difference in the lives of the people that attended.In 1998 Perry began a Bible study in his home for college students on Wednesday evenings at 11:00. It grew from eight people to over 150 in less than two months. Through this Bible study a Sunday evening service was developed on the campus of Anderson College and sponsored by a local church.After several adults began attending the service designed for college students a core group began discussing planting a church that “did things differently.” After much prayer a group of about 15 people began to meet and decided to begin NewSpring Church.NewSpring Church had its first Sunday morning service in the Sullivan building at Anderson College on January 16, 2000, with 115 people present. From that time until February 2006, NewSpring had to go to four Sunday services, at the Anderson College Fine Arts Center, with over 3500 people in attendance each week.Today, NewSpring Church is one of the fastest growing churches in the nation. As a result of tremendous growth, NewSpring moved into its first permanent facility on February 12, 2006. The new facility is equpped with a state of the art, 2500 seat auditorim and children's space. The first Sunday in the new facility over 6900 people attended.
