New Life Church Of God
Our Pastors
Senior Pastor Tim Bumpous
Pastor Tim is a humble, yet bold servant of God. He is the senior pastor and founder of the New Life Church in Newport, Arkansas. Pastor Tim was called to the ministry in 1994 and began preaching to those behind bars, those who were in jails and prisons. He began to evangelize in churches around Arkansas, however he knew that God had placed a calling upon Him to pastor a church. Pastor Tim gave up a successful building contractor business to follow the Lord's calling and become a full time pastor. God promises a new life when we accept Him and Pastor Tim is a vessel that God is using. God has given Pastor Tim a calling for the lost, depressed, needy, elderly, sick and those people who are dealing with addictions in their lives. God is using Pastor Tim to change lives in Newport, Arkansas and the surrounding communities.
Pastor Tim has a beautiful family and has been married to his wife Leslie for ten years. Leslie also is a licensed minister for the New Life Church. The Lord has truly blessed Tim & Leslie in their home and church life.
Pastor Tim has started numerous oureach programs including Project New Start. Project New Start is based upon the teaching of Jesus Christ as outlined in Matthew 25: "For I was hungred, and ye gave me meat; I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink; I was a stranger, and ye took me in; naked, and ye clothed me; I was sick, and ye visited me; I was in prison, and ye came unto me." Project New Start operates three transitional recovery home, two for men and one for women, for poeple who want to make a lifestle change and break their bonds of addicition. In addition, Project New Start offers two assisted living homes, one for men & one for women for programs graduates to have a clean and sober environment to live and grow in. Other outreach programs include a weekly food bank, a jail ministry, a nursing home ministry and will include in the very near future a children's home ministry for the abused, neglected and forgotten child.
After much prayer and fasting, Pastor Bumpous found himself at 1417 Dewey Avenue in Newport, Arkansas, where a church was for sale. God made a way for him to purchase this church and God is changing lives in Newport, Arkansas. This building now is the New Life Church where the congregation is growing in number and growing in the Spirit. Our pastor has a true anointing over him, our pastor is a man who truly cares for everyone, our pastor is a man who wants everyone to come and know the love of Jesus Christ in their lives.
Kai and his wife Tonya have been married for 13 years and have two wonderful children, Elijah and Caleb. The Lord has truly blessed our assistant pastor with a loving, caring Christian family.
