Our Team.

The people God has called to lead and serve New Life.

BIBLICAL GOVERNMENT

How We’re Structured

New Life is an elder-led, congregationally informed church. Our structure is based on Scripture, not tradition or preference.

Elders

Qualified men who shepherd the congregation through teaching, oversight, and spiritual care. Elders govern in matters of doctrine, discipline, and worship.

1 Timothy 3:1-7 · Titus 1:5-9 · 1 Peter 5:1-4

Deacons

Qualified men who serve under elder oversight by attending to the practical needs of the church: logistics, hospitality, mercy ministries, and operations.

1 Timothy 3:8-13 · Acts 6:1-7

The Congregation

Every member of New Life has a voice. While elders govern, the congregation is informed and has opportunity to provide input on key decisions.

Acts 6:3-5 · Hebrews 13:17

Christ as Head

Above every structure, every leader, and every decision stands Jesus Christ, the true Head of the Church. All human authority is delegated authority, exercised under His lordship.

Ephesians 1:22-23 · Colossians 1:18

SENIOR PASTOR

Dr. Stephen Carter, Sr.

DMin · Senior Pastor & Founder · Pastoral Counselor

Dr. Stephen Carter, Sr. has spent over 30 years in pastoral ministry. Not building a platform, but building people. His calling is simple: preach the Word, shepherd the flock, and equip the saints.

He founded New Life Christian Church in 2019 with a conviction that Northern Colorado needed a church that takes the Bible seriously while meeting people where they actually are.
