New Life Worship Center

What New Life Worship Center does

New Life Worship Center is a non-profit Pentecostal church headquartered in Tyler, Texas, founded on November 3, 2002, and affiliated with the Church of God International (Cleveland, TN). It serves a multi-generational congregation through age-segmented ministries including Kids Life, Youth Life, Young Adults, Marriage, Senior Life, and an Under the Bridge community outreach program, plus a subsidiary early childhood education operation called New Life Early Education. The organization operates from a 30,000+ square foot Next Gen Family Life Center completed in 2018 and supports approximately 95 employees across pastoral, administrative, and operational roles. As of 2025, it runs bilingual English/Spanish worship services through the New Life en Español offering and is led by Lead Pastors Brandon and Sharayah Smith, who were installed on December 22, 2024, alongside specialized pastors covering youth (Jorge and Valeria Munoz, joined July 13, 2025) and senior adults (Craig and Tracillia Wilnerd).

The organization's core "products" are weekly worship services, small group fellowship, discipleship programming (Growth Track), youth and children's ministry, marriage and family ministry, and community outreach, delivered through both on-campus and digital channels including the Church Center app, a Young Adults podcast, and active social media accounts on Facebook and Instagram. Its underlying technology footprint is limited to off-the-shelf church management and engagement software (ShelbyNext, Church Center, Kid Check) rather than any proprietary platform.

Its business model is a non-profit operating model funded primarily by congregant tithes and offerings, supplemented by fee-for-service revenue from the New Life Early Education subsidiary. There is no public financial disclosure, no membership-fee structure, and no third-party grant or institutional donor base referenced in the input, meaning revenue mechanics are inherently tied to recurring individual giving from the Tyler-area congregation and to local East Texas economic conditions.
