About Us
"Live like Jesus. Love like Jesus."
We are an Assemblies of God congregation committed to passionate worship, biblical truth, relational discipleship, and bringing the hope of Christ to Avoyelles Parish, Marksville, Mansura, Dry Prong, and beyond.
Pastors Richard & Wendy Newman
Pastors Richard and Wendy Newman are passionate about the Lord and seeing God's people flourish. They were elected as our Lead Pastors in October 2016. Both are ordained ministers with the Assemblies of God and have served faithfully in various ministries over the last 24 years—children, youth, evangelism, worship, and now pastoral leadership.
What We Believe & Stand On
Every ministry, sermon, and gathering at New Life is centered around these pillars.
Faith
Faith is the cornerstone of our church. It is part of every activity that we do, every meeting that we hold. We believe in our Lord Jesus Christ, that His sacrifice saves, heals, and restores, and that our lives are a reflection of His goodness.
Scripture
We look to the Lord for guidance in our lives. In Scripture, we find all that we need to direct our paths. Reading, memorizing, and understanding God's Word empowers us to navigate every season of life with divine wisdom.
Community
We welcome each and every person to encounter the Lord's unconditional love. Inside each of us is a God-given purpose and meaning to be fulfilled in harmonious fellowship and authentic relationships.
