About New Life Community Church
New Life Community Church is associated with the
denomination known as The Church of The Nazarene. This denomination
of about 1.5 million members has over 12,000 churches in nearly
150 different world areas. The
Church of the Nazarene was founded in 1908 in Pilot Point,
Texas, comprised of several independent Christian groups who came
together around a common vision with two main distinctives: 1)
The belief that we as Christians can live a righteous life that
honors God and is pleasing to Him, and 2) A genuine compassion
for ministry to those less fortunate than we are.
New
Life Community Church is an exciting congregation that has endeavored
to remain true to those roots. NLCC was birthed in August of 1995
through the vision of two brothers: Denny Dillon, the founding
Pastor, and his brother Tim, a Houston Police Officer. On July
9, 1995, Denny and Cindy Dillon moved from a successful ministry
in Des Moines, Iowa to Tomball, Texas, with their two sons Matthew
and Tim. The two families selected the name, New Life Community
Church, based on favorable responses from a survey of residents
in our community. Pastor Denny began a Home Bible study Group
to reach out to neighbors as they rotated the meeting place between
their Oak Bend Place apartment and Tim and Diane’s home in the
Rimwick Forest subdivision.
In it’s early days our congregation grew to occupy
a meeting place at the Tomball Community Center, moving to a larger
room as we continued to grow. When the Community Center became
unavailable on weekends we were given the opportunity to hold
services in the fellowship hall of the Living Stones Church in
Decker Prairie. We owe so much to Pastor Don White and the wonderful
people of Living Stones.
On
December 22, 2002, our New Life Community family moved into it’s
current facility at 32822 SH 249, in Pinehurst. These are exciting
days as we continue to experience God’s presence and blessing.
The two comments we hear most often from new families are, “The
people are so friendly,” and, “We really sense God’s presence
here.” We are humbled by those statements and want to steward
well God’s activity in our midst. The Lamb of God Who said, “Behold,
I make all things new,” wants to do something powerful and new
in your life. Please come and allow us the privilege of serving
you.
