  • New Life Church is a celebrative, grace-filled, second-chance church which began as a church plant on September 11, 2005, and whose founding Minister, Tim Halstead, is retiring.  Church planting is part of our DNA, and New Life has helped plant 16 churches over the past 17 years.  We are dedicated to being a church who plants churches and have a heavy burden for the lost.    

     

    New Life Church has grown from meeting in the gymnasium of a local elementary school in our infancy, to the purchase of a unique facility about 15 years ago – the old Odessa Country Club.  Over the years we have renovated most of it and this unique 12-acre campus, complete with a swimming pool, tennis courts, and sand volleyball courts, allows us to reach our community and many non-profit organizations through activities throughout the year.  

  • Odessa is home to some of the most friendly, loyal, and hard-working people you ever will meet. Odessa is an oilfield town and much of the DNA of our town is connected to the oil & gas industry. Odessa has a population of 120,000 with an additional 50,000 people who live in Ector County which surrounds Odessa.
