The Pastor of New Life in Jesus is affectionately known simply as "Pastor".   Pastor's living and teaching the Word has made an impact on me.  I get the Word that helped to annihilate mental illness and helped me stand as an adult in the Word.  I came to New Life battered and feeling unloved. Pastor and his wife Judith's patience, love and knowledge pulled me through.  This blog does not contain enough giga or megabytes to hold the countless prayers, laughter, correction and patience that Pastor Barnes has provided for me and my family.  He leads by example and has the respect of so many.  Although, I lovingly call him my father, I esteem him as the man of God that he is. 

One of the most remarkable qualities of Pastor is his unwavering commitment to God and outreach. Whether it's teaching every Sunday and Wednesday, counseling his flock, or mentoring the next generation of leaders, Pastor embodies the spirit of selflessness and compassion. His tireless dedication to helping others extends far beyond the walls of the church, touching countless lives in tangible and meaningful ways. It’s not just about preaching the Word—it’s about living it daily and inspiring others to do the same. You’ll find that his influence is felt not only in his sermons but in the way he empowers individuals to believe in their worth and potential.

He is waiting to be the same for you.  Come say hello!
