Matthew Collier
Youth Director
I want to impact the next generation to love others well, serve joyfully for the Lord and to know God deeply in their hearts. The youth of today will become the future church and it is vastly important to raise them on sound biblical principles. I love the ability to give back to kids now, remembering all that my leaders had done for me.

I love our youth kiddos, and I am passionate about creating a space where our youth can establish a firm foundation in their walk with Jesus. I want our youth to be fully equipped to continue following Jesus through college and into their professional careers.

Justin Fowler
Youth Leader
My wife Aubrey and I started attending New Life in 2019. We felt called to serve with the youth to help be a source of truth in a confusing world. It brings me great joy to help equip the disciples of the future.
Aubrey Fowler
Youth Leader
Many people invested in my faith from a young age which greatly impacted the trajectory of my life. I’m so grateful for those who encouraged me in my walk with the Lord and I want to do the same for others. My greatest hope for the youth is that they would truly fall in love with Jesus and know His love for them to the fullest.
