Jesus said, “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his field.
Though it’s the smallest of all seeds, when it grows, it’s the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so
that the birds come and perch in its branches.”
Like the mustard seed Jesus described, 25 years ago, New Life Church began small—a bold and dedicated
leader, a few devoted people, a simple gathering, a lot of faith, and a big dream. A dream planted by God
with great purpose! Vision for a church that would reach the state of Arkansas for His glory! A church whose
head is Jesus, whose help is the Holy Spirit, and whose focus is the Great Commission!
Over time, through prayer, the faithfulness, hard work, and sacrifice of many, and through the help of the
Holy Spirit, New Life Church has far surpassed what Pastor Rick and Michelle imagined 25 years ago.
Becoming a place of shelter, hope, and belonging for tens of thousands across Arkansas.
All glory to God for everything He has accomplished in the last 25 years! We are expectant as we pursue all
He has for us in the next 25!
Join us this weekend for our 25th anniversary celebration at NLC Beebe! Services at 9:00am and 10:45am
