New Life Covenant Oakwood

Detail:

New Life Covenant Oakwood Church is a life changing ministry that reflects the Glory of God through Worship, Outreach, Discipleship and Servanthood.

 

The church began with weekly bible studies in September 2003 with a small group of committed members. Others heard the cry and the numbers grew. In March 2004, Sunday worship services were added. Still more heard the cry and responded. In November 2004, because of the rapid increase in membership, New Life Oakwood moved to its current location at Martin Luther King College Preparatory High School. 

 

The ministry is committed to breaking down the walls of religion and denomination and endeavors to create a church that looks like heaven, where all of God’s children, of every race and color, worship together. Outreach to the poor is a cornerstone of New Life’s ministry.

 

Each month, the church moves beyond the four walls of the sanctuary and enters the Oakwood and Bronzeville communities and ministers to the needs of the people. Previous outreaches have included: ice cream and hot dog giveaways, back-to-school festival, coat giveaway, bicycle giveaway, Easter basket giveaway, turkey giveaway, and participation in the Angel Tree project.

 

New Life Covenant Oakwood is a “daughter” church of New Life Covenant Church in the Humboldt Park community in Chicago, Illinois where Wilfredo De Jesus is the Senior Pastor. There are three other “daughter” churches, located in Harbor City, California; the Pilsen community of Chicago;  and Peru!
