Video: New Life Christian Church Opens the nZone

New Life Christian Church held the grand opening of the nZone, a former Budweiser facility converted to a church and sports facility.

New Life Christian Church isn't a conventional congregation. "No perfect people are allowed at New Life. Come regardless of your hurts, habits and hang-ups.

They've named it the "nZone," which doubles as a sports facility and gym during the week and a church on Sundays. On Jan. 14th, the congregation held the grand opening, complete with free food, games, moonbounces and autographs by current and former Redskins Evan Royster, Darrell Green and …

So, we invested in a building that would serve our community’s needs and be busy seven days a week," said Andrews.  "So, at the nZone, you’ll find everything you would expect at a recreation and sports facility – soccer, lacrosse, basketball and volleyball league play, fitness classes and boot camps, Karate, …
