Share your story!

We are now a couple weeks past Celebration Sunday. Many of our members took steps of faith to give their gifts. We are looking forward to hearing stories of how God come through for you! Take time to honor God by sharing what He has done for you. Email us your stories at growinginfaith@newlifecommunitychurch.

Meeting a fellow believer


It's fun to see the connections God brings. While on the property the foreman overseeing the grading came up and said, "you must be from the church!" He is active in his local church and was happy to know a group of fellow believers would be moving onto the site he was working on. Here is a picture of Mike Hannah and him on the property.

Grading has begun!

Grading is going gangbusters at the property. Truckloads of dirt have been brought onto the lot and then spread out with earthmoving equipment. The goal is to raise entire site to a certian level needed for property drainage.

Looking Back at Celebration Sunday


One of the members sent us a picture they took with their camera phone of our big day! Remember the excitment when the total was announced!

It Finally Happened!

For the first time ever, New Life Community Church is the proud owner of a piece of property in the South Corona area. As a result of the heartfelt commitments, the faith, the prayers and the support of our church members, God has blessed us with a piece of property where we can build a permanent church home. The property is 2.86 acres and is undergoing the grading process right now. If you would like to see it for yourself, take the 15 fwy. to Weirick Rd. Turn east to Temescal Canyon Rd. then go south. Turn left on Pulsar Ct. in the Wildrose Business Park, drive to the end of the street, look left and there it is! It’s beautiful, isn’t it?

Getting Closer

What a crazy week! We continue to put all of the puzzle pieces together as we anxiously approach the escrow closing date. The bank is putting loan documents together, the escrow company is putting title/deed documents together, and the seller is continuing the grading process at the property site.
Please pray with us that the next few days go smoothly and are marked by God’s presence and provision.

Next Step

Here is where we are at with the property:
We have raised enough money to purchase 2.86 acres of the 5 acres that we originally hoped to purchase.
We are planning on closing escrow on that portion on March 16th.
Let us thank God for continuing to open doors for us!!
