Probably most people could say, “The last few years have been a rollercoaster”.  New Life Church, like everyone else, had our world rocked in March of 2020 as Covid-19 changed everything. Prior to that in 2018 and 2019 the church experienced miraculous growth marked by record amounts of people discovering New Life in Christ, getting baptized and growing in Christ.  The one thing that the global pandemic did not change was the Life Change taking place at New Life Church.Just a year later in March 2021, despite covid restrictions, controversial mandates and global uncertainty New Life Church took a HUGE step of faith and became a portable church. We moved out of our building 3 miles south of town and into the Albany County Fairgrounds. During this time our church has grown even more and God is changing more lives. As a leadership team we are more convinced than ever that God is up to big things and He has big plans for the future of New Life Church. Our goal in 2023 is to take another step of faith and purchase the property that will become the future home of New Life Church. Despite being delayed by the pandemic, we have been able to raise $1,372,547.57 through the sale of our building, the sale of some property that the church owned, and through generous giving.  The estimated cost of the needed building is about $2,000,000.  We would like to have 3/4 of that by the end of 2023 which will require us to raise about $127,000 in the next year.
