LEADERSHIP

Sr. Pastor Brian Randolph

Pastor Randolph has faithfully served the body of Christ in many roles under the mentorship of the late Bishop David E. Barnes, and the late Overseer, Executive Pastor Sandra C. Barnes. Forever a humble leader, his spiritual resume ranges from sexton to Associate Pastor. This includes being appointed Director of The New Life Church Prison Ministry at Tully House, and member of The New Life Church’s not-for-profit Umoja Family Academy. In 2005, he was ordained and elevated to the office of Associate Pastor where he served until the untimely passing of both his spiritual parents. Pastor Brian never refused an opportunity to be of service to the Lord, be it as church handyman, church sexton, transportation driver and a messenger of God’s word. 

It was no secret that Bishop David E. Barnes desired his spiritual son, Pastor Brian to be his successor, often sharing with the congregation that when the Lord took him, the church would be in good hands. It is Pastor Brian’s heart’s desire to fully carry out the good work that has been started at The New Life Church. He endeavors to keep the vision and the mission of New Life alive, wanting everyone to remember what his spiritual father, Bishop taught: that if you surrender to God, plus serve God, you will always be satisfied in God. Pastor Brian is an avid student of the Bible with his favorite scripture being Psalm 34.
