New Life

  • We are Pentecostal - which means we fully believe in and embrace the moving of the Holy Spirit. We are part of a movement called New Life Churches, which has over 70 churches all around New Zealand that are independent of each other, but journey together closely.

  • New Life was founded in the early 1980’s by our Founding Pastors, John and Yvonne Walton. With a group of believers they set out to build a vibrant, Pentecostal church in Palmerston North. Land was purchased and our current church facility on Featherston St was built in 1986.

    New Life Feilding was birthed and planted from New Life Palmerston North in 1986 and has had a rich heritage over many years, and it has been in its current location on Fergusson St for over a decade.

  • Absolutely. No matter your age or stage of life, you are welcome here!

  • We have two locations here at New Life – in Palmerston North and Feilding. We are one church in two locations.

  • Yes, what we call our mission is “For all to know new life in Jesus.” This is the why behind what we do!

    We have five cultural values that express and shape who we are as a church.

    1. Jesus is our Pursuit

    2. People are our Purpose

    3. Passion is our Response

    4. Generosity is our Privilege

    5. Excellence is our Commitment

Services

  • We have weekly Sunday services that run at different times across our locations. Check our “services” page for up to date service times. The service runs for approximately 75 minutes.

  • Whatever you feel comfortable in! There is no dress code for what you have to wear to attend New Life, but the majority of our church dress semi-casual.

  • Yes! Both our locations have purpose built facilities for children aged 0 - 12 with leaders who love to lead the younger generation. You’re welcome to stay with your child in Life Kids or be freed up to join in our main service in the auditorium. All leaders in the Life Kids programs are police vetted and trustworthy.

  • Just yourself! You are more than welcome to bring your bible and a notebook as we encourage taking notes during the message to help you learn and grow from what the speaker is preaching about. If you don’t have your own bible you can download the free app on your phone or device called “You Version”. We also have free bibles as part of our salvation packs for those making the first time decision to follow Jesus.
