About

A small non-denominational congregation operating under the motto "Where the Spirit and Truth Meet Together," New Life Christian Chapel holds Sunday afternoon worship and a Wednesday mid-week service inside the historic Ocean Beach Woman’s Club building on Bacon Street. The meeting space at 2160 Bacon Street is the same redwood building that started as Ocean Beach’s original Union Church in the 1910s and has housed the Ocean Beach Woman’s Club at the corner of Muir Avenue and Bacon Street since 1944, giving the congregation a worship home with a century of OB religious-and-civic history baked into its walls. The afternoon Sunday service-time keeps the congregation out of conflict with the morning-worship schedules of larger Ocean Beach churches, allowing members to participate in joint civic events and ecumenical gatherings earlier in the day. Mid-week prayer and teaching gather the congregation again in the same building under the same Spirit-and-Truth charism that defines the Sunday format. The Woman’s Club worship room offers a small-scale gathering space that contrasts with the larger Ocean Beach "Church Row" parishes such as Sacred Heart Church Ocean Beach on Sunset Cliffs Boulevard, positioning New Life as one of the smallest non-denominational Christian gatherings in 92107. The most demanding undertaking is the building-stewardship partnership itself — operating active worship inside a 1910s-era wooden Woman’s Club building requires the congregation to coordinate scheduling, repairs, and event logistics with the Woman’s Club board and to preserve the historic interior across both ecclesial and civic uses.
