Our Story

           New Life Ministries of Southwest Florida, Inc. is an independent Non-Denominational Ministry, believing in the Full Gospel message, and incorporated since 1982, originally in the State of Michigan.
           New Life relocated to Arcadia Florida in 1996, under the leadership of Rev.  Diane & (the late) Rev. Ken Everhart as Senior Founding Pastors of congregant Church known as New Life Worship Center.

In 2004, we endured a total loss of structures, including the Church, Pastor's parsonage, as well as other numerous needs for rebuilding. The catastrophic loss that was meant for our destruction turned into God's redemption as we picked up the pieces with faith and determination and A LOT of HARD WORK. We  began to rebuild and redeem what was meant for destruction by the enemy.  God sent a few faithful ones to come alongside us in our rebuilding endeavors, and for this, we are eternally grateful. The difference in damage and devastation is in the foundation, and God has a way of using what was meant for our loss, to bring a testimony!  These and other challenges and victories have proven that
God is faithful!

   We are thankful for how the Lord has used this ministry for the MANY testimonies of changed lives, ministries launched, and transformation in families and beyond.
    We are a people of determination to seek the glory of God within our own lives, spilling over into our community, our nation, and to the nations of the world.
    Our heart's cry is to build strong families, discipling and enabling them to be all that God has called them to be.
    New Life is a place for you to enjoy connection with God and people to share it with. No matter where you are in life, God has a purpose for you and a journey we'd love to share with you.
