New Life Christian Church - Watertown (NY)

5 /5 Erika Woodrow: Let me tell you about my Jesus; for the better part of my whole life I have believed in God, and have tried to come to him & every time I have fallen away. I started out my walk in smaller more traditional church but I needed more from a kids ministry so that I could focus and pour my heart into it vs chasing my kids around . I remember the feeling I felt in 2017 when I first found New Life so I decided to come back because I remembered the kids ministry was on point with what I was in need of. I found SO much more. I have found community, I have found friendship, I have found family and most importantly lets not forget I found GOD. This church has me pouring myself into my walk with faith like no other. Worship music has me in tears almost every time. Pastor speaks to us in a way we can understand and engage - is he traditional reading from the bible and only that? NOPE - but for me, that is what I love, he is real, he is raw and he uses real life testimonies be it from his own experience or others to discuss the bible and Gods wish for his people. He talks about the real stuff, the worldly stuff we battle every single day and shows us with so much passion how to navigate it through walking with God. Some people do not enjoy this type of service & that is OKAY. We all walk with God in different ways for the same purpose, yes? I have seen God put me in positions within the church to serve others in a way I would have never understood I needed to. It all starts with the lobby, the people are so sweet, welcoming, cheerful. I assure you they are all human not robots working from a script. I have never once been able to donate to the church with monetary giving and not ONCE have I felt like I am less than the person tithing every week. Please come to a service and allow yourself to form an opinion - through God, if you arent pulled to attend again, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that - but you can, again and again, no one is turned away, everyone is welcome & that is what I love so much about this church - their goal isnt to shame & change - that is for God to work in you - they only want to meet you where you are and connect you to the most amazing Jesus. Now I couldve had chatgpt write me some ten star review, but you will have to settle for my 5-star genuine heartfelt one instead. New life has changed my life in ways I cannot express because it has helped me to pursue & solidify my relationship with God.

5 /5 Rhonda McNeely: New Life Christian Church and its incredible community changed our lives in ways we never imagined. My husband and I first attended on January 1, 2012, at a time when we were broken and living separately. That same month, on the same day, just six hours apart, we both gave our lives to Christ. The people at New Life are truly the best of the best—caring, genuine, and always there when you need them. With their love and support, our hearts were open for God to meet us where we were. Our marriage was healed, along with depth in our faith. If youre looking for a place where you can feel accepted, find healing, and grow spiritually, this church is a life-changing experience. We are forever grateful!

The churchs welcoming environment, vibrant community, and passionate leadership have played a crucial role in bringing me back to Jesus and deepening my faith.
