Meet Our Pastor

Pastor Juan and Rosa Sanchez

Juan and Rosabel Sanchez have been involved in ministry for the last 12 years. They were Fusion ministry leaders and Elders at Newlife Midway before being launched out in the Spring of 2014 to plant Newlife Garfield-Ridge, where they led services at Kennedy High School. In the Fall of 2016 both the New Life Garfield Ridge and New Life Cicero church families merged into one new dynamic body of Christ, which Juan and Rosabel now pastor. Both Juan and Rosabel are life-long residents of the City of Chicago and both work as educators for Chicago Public Schools. They have a shared passion to see healthy, vibrant and spiritually equipped individuals and families grow and thrive. Together, they have four children and a beagle named Zoe.

Pastor Samuel y Violeta Sotelo

Samuel y Violeta Sotelo, originarios de México, no imaginaban que Dios bendeciría a una pareja como ellos, con el privilegio de servir a otros a través de la salvación, bautizos, y crecimiento espiritual. Un grupo de estudio bíblico se convirtió en la congregación que llevan hoy. Aun en medio de circunstancias difíciles, el ministerio de 13 años, sigue creciendo gracias a la fidelidad de Dios. Junto con el amor y apoyo de la congregación, su familia espera continuar haciendo un impacto para Cristo.
