Denis has been a blessing to New Life because of his passion for worship and praise. He has a Bachelors degree in jazz from SFSU and has traveled around the United States and many different countries with various worship leaders. He is currently Dir. of the School of Worship at Christ for the Nations Institute as well as serving as worship leader for New Life. Denis came to CFNI to grow in his knowledge of the Word and the Lord, and had thought about not even making his musical abilities known. It was soon discovered that Denis plays multiple musical instruments and the rest, as they say, is history. |

Michael and Delana have been over the youth at New Life for over four years and feel that heeding the call of the Lord in their lives to take the youth pastor position has radically changed and enriched their lives. They have created a new and growing program called Accel Youth Ministries (AYM) which has ministered at a couple of churches around the metroplex with praise and worship. Michael and Delana have two beautiful children – Parker Stephen and Avery Grace.
Shane and Allison have been a blessing to New Life because of their passion to see children grow in their knowledge of the Word and to learn the real meaning of worship and praise. They have 3 children of their own and long to see New Life’s Kid’s Realm ministry invest lasting results in every age category from nursery through the 5th grade. They strongly encourage everyone who has a child in New Life to support Kid’s Realm in some area of ministry on a regular basis to be aware of what their child is learning, to observe their child in the children’s ministry setting, and to assist in the overall growth of our children’s lives spiritually.
Sharon and Pastor Buck have been married for 38 years and they've always felt they were a team in their ministry. Sharon is very active in New Life in assisting the leaders of volunteer ministries and oversees the Music Department.

She especially shines when she’s with her two grandchildren – Gunnar and Sophie.
Sharon has been at New Life since the church began in 1987 and considers her position at the church not only a staff position but a ministry.

Beckie has been on staff at New Life for 11 years assisting in many areas – specifically music and media, and is the strong E. Texas accent you may hear answering New Life’s phone. Beckie's husband Larry is also active in the Music Department and is Director of the Men's Ministry. They have a grown married son Landon.
