New Life has a rich history. Its influence spans seventy plus years. Nearly half of that time has been under the care of Charles R & Frances M. Grisham. Many lives have been touched and changed, fanilies blessed, and Bible truth has been faithfully preached, taught and lived. In reaching out, individually, in Home Bible studies, in the written and preached word, and by developing preachers and leaders, New Life continues their legacy - spreading the good news of this glorious message…

We’ve called this section ”Grisham Memory Lane.” It features photos of their family and thirty-two years of pastoral ministry here at New Life, including their 50th Wedding Anniversary, their 30th Pastoral Anniversary in December 2005, retirement in 2007, 60th Wedding Anniversary, and receiving the “Order of the Faith” in Houston, Texas on September 28, 2010. . .
May the Lord lead on. Kudos to all who continue to swing the sickle reaping the harvest in the great mission field of Detroit metro… Schoolcraft has a rich tradition of classic pentecostal flavor and has made an impact around the globe. So many sterling saints of the past years now make up part of that “cloud of witnesses” applauding the present generation. Keep serving.
Every Blessing,
Mark A Grisham
Praise the Lord Bro. Mark. I love you and I love your father We may not have spoken in about 30 years, but the emotion is forever stamped deeply inside of my spirit and my heart. I will never forget “Daddy Always Eats First!” Thank you.

I have many great memories of New Life Apostolic Church. When I walk down memory lane I can see the church. I can smell it. I can feel the warmth inside and relive each welcoming and familiar embrace. And, I can hear my Grandpa Grisham leading the congregation in his robust version of “Then Sings My Soul.” Just thinking of it makes my soul sing…. New Life Apostolic Church remains in my heart, in my spirit and in my prayers.
I really enjoyed my journey down Grisham Memory Lane, especially since my mother was a Grisham and is the sister of my uncle, Charles Grisham. What a Legacy we have in the Grisham name! God has truly blessed our family in so many ways, let’s not forget that! Uncle Charles & Aunt Frances, you’re the best! Thanks for teaching me and showing me how much joy there is in serving our Lord Jesus in this Pentecostal Way! Kudos to the New Life Apostolic Church in the Detroit Area! Keep the Fire burning!
Love and Prayers from Tulsa!

P.S. Grandma Fern Grisham was always so proud of her family, I can see her smiling from heaven now!
