About

Vida Nueva Evangelical Free is a Spanish-language congregation affiliated with the Evangelical Free Church of America, meeting at 3295 Meade Avenue in San Diego's Normal Heights neighborhood within the 92116 ZIP. The church name translates to "New Life" in English, and the Meade Avenue location places the congregation in the residential blocks between Adams Avenue and the mesa that drops into Mission Valley, an area where several Spanish-language faith communities operate. San Pablo Iglesia Cristiana in the same Normal Heights corridor represents one of the neighboring congregations serving the bilingual population along this section of the 92116 ZIP, and the churches share a community base that crosses denominational lines. Vida Nueva holds worship services with a blend of contemporary music, traditional hymns, and bilingual programming that connects the Spanish-speaking community to the broader civic life of Normal Heights and University Heights. Ministry programming includes children's ministry, a youth group, young-adult gatherings, and community-service outreach that extends beyond the Meade Avenue walls into the surrounding neighborhood south of Adams Avenue. The congregation's community-service work overlaps with the network of social-service organizations in the 92116 ZIP, and Safe Harbors Network represents one of the neighborhood-level support systems that faith communities in Normal Heights collaborate with on outreach and referral. The church operates from a standalone facility on Meade Avenue with wheelchair-accessible entrance and parking, positioned two blocks south of the Adams Avenue commercial corridor that anchors the Normal Heights business district.
