Caution

Gender / Biblical Design

Biblical manhood and womanhood by God's design — patriarchal, complementarian, egalitarian, or affirming gender ideology?

Male pastor confirmed (Rev. Kittredge); full leadership structure unknown

Caution

Leadership Structure

Male elders/pastors? Accountability?

'Staff & Officers' page exists — 'officers' terminology suggests possible Presbyterian-style polity despite 'Non-Denominational' directory label.

Caution

Preaching Style

Expository or topical/therapeutic?

Not stated on available sources — verify in person.

Caution

Mission Clarity

Great Commission central?

Not stated on available sources — verify in person.

Caution

Accountability Structure

Denominational home, elder plurality, or external network — is the pastor answerable to anyone?

Listed as 'Non-Denominational' but '50th Anniversary' reference suggests established church; 'Officers' terminology hints at possible non-denom Reformed affiliation — verify.

WARNING!

Assessment

New Life in Christ Church is a smaller non-denominational congregation in the Spotsylvania area of Fredericksburg, led by Rev. Douglas Warren Kittredge. Two Sunday services (10AM and 6PM) and a mission statement focused on "building Christ's Kingdom through training leaders" suggests a congregation with a discipleship orientation — a positive sign. However, without an accessible website doctrinal statement or clear denominational accountability, it is impossible to assess their positions on Scripture, gender, soteriology, or cultural issues. Contact: (540) 786-4848. This is a church that warrants a direct visit and conversation with Pastor Kittredge before any deeper assessment.

Sources & Evidence

Enrichment Notes

Curious mix: 'Non-Denominational' directory label + 'Staff & Officers' terminology + 50+ years of history. Worth investigating whether this is actually a conservative Reformed non-denom church (e.g., a former EPC / historic non-conforming).

These are the URLs consulted to arrive at this church's scoring. Score-note claims are synthesized from homepage content, denominational directories, and public statements of faith at the time of review. Church websites change frequently; we're progressively adding Internet Archive snapshots to prevent link rot.
