History

edit

The church was founded in January 2000 with a handful of people in a living room. Since then, it has grown to 13 locations across the state of South Carolina.[1][2][3] In addition to gathering at multiple campuses across the state, NewSpring has established an online campus to connect with individuals who cannot join in person.

In 2016, the weekly attendance was 33,000 people. [4]

Announced July 10, 2016, founder Perry Noble was removed as Senior Pastor by the church's leadership team effective July 1, 2016 for personal issues related to alcohol and neglect of his family.[5]

A year later it was announced that NewSpring would be led by a team of Lead Pastors (Brad Cooper, Michael Mullikin, Tyler Tatum, David Hall, Lee McDerment, and Riley Cummings) and Teaching Pastors (Brad Cooper, Clayton King, Dan Lian, and Meredith Knox) would share the stage on Sundays.[6][7]

In 2016, the church was left with a $47 million debt,[8] but paid this down year on year, so that in March 2023 it was able to announce it was debt free.[9]

According to a church census released in 2023, it claimed a weekly attendance of 10,000 people.[10]

The church is based in Anderson, SC. It operates satellite campuses in 12 other South Carolina cities.[11]
