Discover who we are, our beliefs, and the legacy that has shaped our journey at New Life Fellowship Church.
We welcome you to our New Life Fellowship web page. On behalf of our Pastor, Bishop Paul and Lady Sheri Riley, we pray that this website is a blessing to you.
Here at New Life Fellowship, we preach and live the Word of God. In the book of John 14:6 it tells us that “no one will come to the father except through Jesus Christ”. We believe in the scriptures and in the Holy Spirit, we believe that Jesus Christ is our Lord and saviour. Our congregation is a family that works together as one in the body of Christ.
We offer services live in-person, and we stream every Sunday and Tuesday night — you even have the opportunity to go back and re-watch videos of your choice. May the Lord bless you and keep you as our prayer.
Bishop and Mother Arthur Harrison
In 1965 Bishop and Mother Arthur Harrison founded the Ontario Church of God in Christ. This being the legal and official name of the church, the congregation later changed the “Surface name” to the Harrison Memorial Church of God in Christ in memory of Bishop Harrison’s ancestors and the Harrison Legacy.
Bishop Harrison served as Pastor to this church until he retired in the early 1990s when Bishop James Pittman became the new pastor. In 1994, Bishop L.B. Riley became pastor of Harrison Memorial Church of God in Christ. Bishop L.B. Riley served as pastor until 2013, succeeded by his son Bishop Paul Riley.
After much prayer, consecration, and prophecy, Bishop Paul took Harrison Memorial in a new direction. In 2017, the Board of Directors changed the “surface name” of the Ontario Church of God in Christ to New Life Fellowship with a special asterisk and mention of the Harrison Memorial Legacy.
After 57 years, it is an honor and privilege to say that the vision of Bishop Arthur Harrison, the Ontario Church of God in Christ, is still alive and well.
Bishop Paul and Lady Sheri Riley have been serving faithfully with passion and dedication, leading New Life Fellowship into a vibrant season of growth and spiritual renewal. Their vision, compassion, and commitment to the Word of God continue to inspire our church community.
With a heart for people and a deep love for Christ, they exemplify servant leadership and are excited to walk alongside each person in their faith journey.
We believe the Bible to be the inspired and only infallible written Word of God.
We believe that there is only One God, eternally existent in three persons: God the Father, God the Son and, God the Holy Spirit.
We believe in the blessed Hope, which is the rapture of the Church of God, which is in Christ, at His return.
We believe that the only means of being cleansed from sin is through repentance and faith in the precious Blood of Jesus Christ.
We believe that regeneration by the Holy Ghost is absolutely essential for personal salvation.
We believe that the redemptive work of Christ on the Cross provides healing for the human body in answer to believing prayer.
We believe that the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, according to Acts 2:4, is given to believers who ask for it.
We believe in the sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a holy and separated life in the present world.
