WHERE IT ALL BEGAN
New Life was born on January 16, 1999. Fifteen families gathered in a 900 square foot commercial space in Pasadena situated between two Bingo halls and a second-hand store. Prior to becoming our first worship center, the retail space sold pagers and cellphones. During our three months there it was common to hear Bingo numbers called out in the middle of our prayer services as well as customers walking in to pay their mobile phone bills during our worship.
FIRST FRUIT
Even in low-resoluiton, these pictures vividly tell the story of New Life's beginning through a series of slides capturing our first year of ministry. From our storefront beginning, to the arrival of our Pastors, to several outreach efforts in the community where we were first planted --these images reflect the drive and determination of our ministry.
INTERVIEW WITH
OUR FOUNDERS
During our 25th anniversary month, we dedicated part of our worship service to sitting down with founding members to reminisce about the start of our ministry.
Happy Anniversary
