The Holt Church of God was founded in 1984 and became the New Life Church of God in 1988. It was located in the former Holt Church of the Nazarene building at Hall and Schoolcraft. Pastor Boatwright was the founding pastor of New Life. Also heads of the congregation were Pastor Bell for three years and Roy Rich for two years. Remodeling, siding, and beautification projects improved the building in the early 1990s. The building at 1940 Hall Street became the New Life Worship Center in 1995 and lasted through 2003. The building has served several other congregations since.
