History

The church was founded in January 2000 with a handful of people in a living room. Since then, the church has grown to 14 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.

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.[4]

A year later it was announced that NewSpring would be led by a team of Lead Pastors (Brad Cooper, Shane Duffey, Michael Mullikin, Tyler Tatum, and David Hall) and Teaching Pastors (Brad Cooper, Clayton King, Dan Lian, and Meredith Knox) would share the stage on Sundays.[5][6]The church also instituted a team of elders composed of a group of members from different NewSpring campuses.

In March 2022 the church was $11 million in debt,[7] reduced from $47 million in 2016.[8]
