What We Believe
We believe in the Holy Trinity, namely: the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. These three are united in One True Holy Living God, the Maker and Preserver of all things, undivided, and that He is of infinite power, wisdom, visible and invisible and that He is from everlasting to everlasting, the Beginning and End.
Our Story & Ministries
New Life Ministries, or affectionately called NLM, was founded in 2009 by Pastor Staci D. Sawyer and Elder A. Sawyer. NLM is a place of prayer, praise, worship, and most importantly, serving Jesus Christ. We are dedicated to teaching the Word of God through The Bible and preaching the Gospel of Christ under the anointing of the Holy Spirit. We are committed to Christ and His work of restoring the brokenhearted and those that have been physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually torn down to bring hope into their lives as well as encourage them into a relationship with Jesus Christ. We at NLM will accept and welcome you with joy and will do all we can to express God’s affirming love. Our ministry is in existence to help you, no matter who you are or where you’ve been.

Pastor Staci D. Sawyer
August 16, 1964 — January 26, 2023
Pastor Staci D. Sawyer, founder and pastor of New Life Ministries, transitioned to be with the Lord on Wednesday, January 26, 2023 at JFK Hospital. She was born in New Brunswick, NJ and grew up in Highland Park, NJ. She later resided in Edison, NJ. for 32 years.
Before being called to start New Life Ministries, C.O.C.W.I.H in 2009, she was a faithful member of Gethsemane Temple, C.O.C.W.I.H since 1989 where she served as an usher, appointment manager and a Sunday school teacher to the youth. She was also the youth department president, sunshine band director, adult choir director, assistant teacher for adult Sunday school, pastor's aide president, church evangelist and church janitor; and a member of the ministerial staff.
She received her license as an Evangelist in 2001 and was ordained as an Elder in 2005. She was called by God to the pastorate in 2007. She began walking in the call in 2009; all glory belongs to God. Pastor Sawyer was a Certified Computer Operator (IBC) and earned her B.A. in 2013 in Christian Counseling at Liberty University. She was an instructor of the National Education Department, a member of the National Women's Department, New Jersey Diocese Mother, and the District Missionary of NJ Northern District for the Church of Christ Written in Heaven.
Pastor Sawyer had a passion and an excitement for serving and praising the Lord Jesus Christ. Her prayers and endeavors were to fulfill God's mission as well as to train and mentor individuals and families; that they may know, understand, and live God's original purpose. She served the Lord without reservation, and prayed for souls to be saved (born again) so that they may enjoy the freedom found in Christ; and will in every way, be made whole. She was delivered from a 12 year eating disorder and had a passion for encouraging families.
Her love for the ministry, family, and friends, kept her determined and motivated. She enjoyed reading, crocheting, spending time with her family, spoiling her grandchildren, smiling, and most of all serving God and His people. One of her favorite scriptures of many was:
"The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple…Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer" (Psalm 19:7-14).
