Welcome to New Life Fellowship - We're So Glad You're Here!

At New Life Fellowship, we believe that church is more than a place to go on Sundays — it’s a community to belong to every day of the week. While we’re not holding Sunday services just yet, we are starting our journey with Life Group gatherings on Wednesday evenings.

Why start here? Because Jesus lived relationally. He walked with people, shared meals, asked questions, and met them where they were. We want to follow His lead, building strong, meaningful relationships first, not just filling a room one day a week.

That said, we do value the importance of gathering on Sundays to worship, fellowship and hear God's Word together. We’re actively preparing for Sunday services, and we’re excited for that day to come soon!

In the meantime, we invite you to connect, grow, and journey with us in Life Group, a space to be known, loved, and transformed by community.

Pastor Troy grew up locally and graduated from Clearbrook-Gonvick High School. After moving away for a few years pursuing a career, he moved back home to raise a family. He realized a need for a relationship with the Lord and through that process served as an elder and pastor at Country Faith Church. Troy and his wife Michele married in 2021. Together, they have a strong desire to pursue and serve the Lord. They love to come alongside people, helping them walk with the Lord, growing in their gifts and callings. When not in church you’ll find them farming, playing with the grandchildren and enjoying the outdoors.
