Interim Pastor – David Fischer

I was born and raised in Illinois.  My parents both served as teachers for the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod which I was baptized into at three months and attended till I left home.  My family moved to Northern Virginia my senior year of high school where I was involved in the youth group at McClean Bible Church.  Immediately after graduation, I joined the Marine Corps and served for 5 years.  While serving in the Marines, I attened the base chapel and a charasmatic, non-denominational church in Yuma, Arizona as well as a full gospel service at the base chapel in Japan.  During my time at MCAS Yuma, I prayed to receive Christ through the Navigators and was re-baptized in the Colorado River by my mentor John Voss in 1994 just before returning to Virginia.  After the Marines I worked at the State Dept. for a year and attended Immanuel Bible Church in Springfield, Virginia.  I started college the following year at Calvin College in Grand Rapids, Michigan before transfering to Mary Washington College in Fredericksburg, Virginia where I attended Grace Evangelical Presbyterian Church and met my future bride Rhonda.  After graduation in 2000, I spent 3 years at Reformed Theological Seminary in Charlotte, North Carolina, before returning to Fredericksburg, Virginia and getting married.  I served as the assistant pastor of Grace EPC till it closed at the end of 2003.  We subsequently attended Spotsylvania Presbyterian Church (USA) where we did college and career ministry and then Christ Covenant EPC where I served as worship leader.  We are very excited about God’s plans for us at NLCC and look forward to seeing God’s hand at work in this wonderful body.  We currently live in Spotsylvania County with our 2 dogs, cat and horse.

Church Secretary – Pam Kinney

Pam is the voice you hear when you call the church office and the face that you see if you come to the building during the week. We are very blessed to have her.

What a remarkable Christian lady! Pam is enthusiastic, creative, technologically proficient, and has a wonderful sense of humor. She has a caring spirit and gives wise counsel to those who ask for advice. Pam began working at New Life in September 1998.

Prior to coming to New Life, Pam was employed at First Nations Development Institute (a nonprofit organization serving Native American tribes and people), at Concerned Women for America, and at the Internal Revenue Service!
