About
Our Pastor
Pastor John Timothy
Pastor John Timothy grew up in a Christian home in South India. A tragic event took place when John was 5 years old which caused him to turn away from God. He turned to gangs and a violent lifestyle. At the age of 17, his father sent him to North Central University in Minneapolis, MN. The day before he started college, John had a drowning experience in a backyard pool and was touched by Jesus in a powerful way. He gave his life completely to Jesus.
John continued his education at Luther W. Jr. New Theological College (NTC) in Dehra Dun, North India and graduated in February 2008. In July 2008, God called him to serve in Milwaukee as a youth pastor for almost 7 years, then moved to Revere MA and Served at Eagle Heights for 4 years before God called him back to Wisconsin to serve as the Senior Pastor at New Life Grafton. Pastor John has a lovely wife, Nicole, and they have four children: Ethan, Elysia and Kiera and Evalet.

what we believe
ABOUT THE SCRIPTURES
We believe the Bible is the written word of God, inspired by the Holy Spirit and without error in the original manuscripts. The Bible is the revelation of God’s truth and is infallible, authoritative, and relevant in all matters of faith and practice.
ABOUT GOD
We believe in one true God, who exists eternally in three distinct persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit: Each of whom is fully and equally God; possessing all of the Divine nature and attributes, and is worthy of our worship and service.
ABOUT HUMANITY
We believe that humanity was created in the image of God but, through sin, was alienated from God, thus incurring both physical and spiritual death. Man is now totally unable to save themselves from God’s wrath, except by way of God’s mercy through Jesus Christ.
ABOUT SALVATION
We believe that Jesus Christ became flesh to reveal God to man, and through his perfect life and sacrificial death, atoned for the sins of humanity, alone, for salvation. Therefore, God freely offers salvation to those who place their faith in the death and resurrection of Christ as a sufficient payment for their sin.
ABOUT THE CHRISTIAN LIFE
We believe that all Christians should live for Christ and not for themselves. By obedience to the Word of God and daily submitting to the Holy Spirit, every believer should mature and be conformed to the image of Jesus and His Lordship in their life.
ABOUT THE CHURCH
We believe that the church is the body of Christ, of which Jesus Christ is the head. The members of the church are those who have trusted by faith the finished work of Jesus. The purpose of the church is to glorify God by loving him and by making him known to the lost world.
