New Life International Family Church was birthed April 4, 1999 at 3:00 pm in the New Bethesda Baptist Church in Atlanta, Georgia. Much prayer, preparation and planning produced an awesome move of God wherein our Pastor and Founder, Jeronn C. Williams, preached “Lord, Build This House” and 24 people joined on opening day. In April of 2000, God opened the door for New Life to move to the Greater New Hope Baptist Church in Atlanta, Georgia. Here, God continued to add to the church. Our membership grew to over 135 members, we added our Friday night “Healing, Deliverance, and Breakthrough” service, and conducted our first baptism service where over 20 people were taken to the water. In January of 2001, God opened the door for New Life to move to the Church of Greater Works International in Atlanta, Georgia. and in September of 2002, God opened the door for New Life to move to Trinity Baptist Church in Ellenwood, Georgia. Finally, in December of 2004, God opened another door for us to have our own church building in Decatur, Georgia. We are believing God for greater and stand in the position to “build a people and serve the whole man.” To that end, we will continue to press forward, following our Pastor and Founder as he follows Christ. We engage therefore to be a Christ-Centered, Bible-Based, Community-Involved, Family-Oriented, and Well-Balanced Church — building a people and serving the whole man. We declare that if God be for us, who can be against us!

STATEMENT OF FAITH
We Believe….
- The Bible, both old and new testaments, is the inspired and infallible Word of God and the complete revelation of His will for the salvation of men, and the divine and final authority for all Christian faith and life.
- There is one God, creator of all things infinitely perfect and eternally existing in three (3) manifestations: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
- Jesus Christ is the only begotten of the Father, conceived of the Holy Spirit, and born of the Virgin Mary. Jesus was crucified on a cross, the complete and final sacrifice for our sins, buried in a tomb, arose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven, where at the right hand of the Father, He is our High Priest and Advocate.
- All have sinned and come short of the glory of God, and repentance is commanded of God for all and necessary for forgiveness of sins.
- In sanctification subsequent to the new birth, through faith in the blood of Jesus Christ, the Word of God, and by the Holy Spirit.
- Holiness is God’s standard of living for His people. (Psalm 93:5; Isaiah 35:8)
- The ministry of the Holy Spirit is to glorify Jesus Christ, convict men of sin, regenerate the believing sinner, indwell, guide, instruct, and empower the believer for godly living and service.
- In the baptism of the Holy Spirit subsequent to a clean heart and speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance.
- In water baptism by immersion subsequent to the new birth as a testimony of death to sin and resurrection to a new life, and the Lord’s Supper as a memorial service symbolizing the death of the Lord Jesus Christ; all true believers and only believers should share in it.
- Divine healing is provided for all in the atonement.
- In the personal, pre-millennial, and imminent Return of our Lord Jesus Christ; the blessed hope.
- In the Bodily Resurrection of all the dead: the righteous to eternal life and the wicked to eternal punishment.
