Our Vision

The New Life Baptist Church is motivated by the goal of creating a systematic cycle of evangelism in the gospel of Jesus Christ and discipleship in His way, through evangelistic outreach to the community whereby significant relationships in Christ can be fostered through effective ministry resulting in genuine worship and holistic stewardship, leading to personal discipleship and the equipping of families through systematic teaching, resulting in missionary mindsets toward kingdom advancement and growth into the lives of individuals, families, communities and nations.>

Our Church History

In 1998, as a Member of Community Fellowship Baptist Church, in Missouri City, Texas, Reverend Yuri Solomon was moved of God to organize New Life Baptist Church. New Life Baptist Church was organized in the home of Sister Arletha Mackey, on May 3, 1998. On that same morning we held our first worship service. In attendance were Pastor Yuri Solomon, Katrina Solomon, Arletha Mackey, and LaTonya Mackey. By December 1998, we leased our first worship facility at 8410 Brandon Lane; we remained there for a year and a half. Finally, the decision was made in June of 2000 to return to home worship, in an effort to amass the funds necessary to begin to purchase a facility of our own. We then continued to worship in the home of Pastor and Sister Solomon. By March of 2001 the Lord blessed and enabled us to begin purchase of our present facility here at 4714 Wilmington St. In 2014, God has blessed us to enter into a new era in the life of our church: We retired our first church note, while simultaneously purchasing two lots adjacent to our present property. In our tenure there have been many challenges. However, as Pastor Solomon always says, there are no problems for Christians, just uncomfortable situations. Thus our difficulties have forged many ministries at our Church such as, the Men of God, the Women of Faith, the Soldiers for Christ Youth, the Hospitality Team, the Program Committee, the Usher Board, WordTalk Radio Ministry, the Pastor Aide, Adult and Youth Choirs, and the Life Bible Institute. The Vision of our church is "Teaching People to Reach People" The mission of our church is "We seek to reach, we reach to grow, we grow to send and we send to seek". The motto of our Church is "Proclaiming the Heavenly Hope", for we know that there is no other means to accomplish our vision and mission than the Gospel of Christ. The preaching and teaching of New Life has been essential to building spiritual individuals, strong families, and a lifestyle of constant outreach to others. Our history is short because this is just the beginning. We have a great work ahead of us; however, we have learned that with Christ all things are possible.

What We Believe

We believe in one God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The triune God has created man in His own image and has called him to manifest and reflect holiness through obedience to His commandments. Because man has woefully fallen in this responsibility and entered into a state of moral corruption, he has subsequently become estranged from his Creator.

Because of a profound love for His creation, God has initiated a plan of redemption which He has accomplished on behalf of His people in the realm of temporal history. The zenith of this redemption is located in the historical incarnation of God in the person of Jesus of Nazareth. We confess Jesus to be the Christ of Old Testament prophecy, being at the same time fully God and fully man. Jesus, through His substitutionary atoning death and bodily resurrection, has provided the meritorious basis of our justification, which, by God's grace, we receive by faith alone.

Proceeding from the Father and the Son, the Holy Spirit dwells in the hearts of believers, effecting their regeneration and operating in their sanctification. The same Holy Spirit has been given to the people of God to empower them for the service of bearing witness to the kingdom of God. The Holy Spirit brings His people together to form a corporate community of believers. We believe that Christ has established a visible church which is called to live in the power of the Holy Spirit under the regulation of the authority of Holy Scripture, exercising discipline, administering the sacraments, and preaching the Gospel of Christ.

We believe that the Bible, in its entirety, is divine revelation, and we submit to the authority of Holy Scripture, acknowledging it to be inerrantly inspired by God and carrying the full weight of His authority.

We support the work of Christian organizations and institutions that confess the Lordship of Jesus Christ. We are committed to the implementation of the social and cultural implications of God's commandments for the well-being of man and his environment. We believe our faith should be visible in concrete forms and models of personal and social behavior. We seek to be faithful disciples of Christ, enduring in love and obedience until He comes again to consummate His kingdom.
