New Life Church Scholarship Program

New Life Church was established with the goal of changing lives in St Louis Metro East communities. To that end, we as LifeChangers have established a scholarship program to help deserving high school graduates change their lives and, in turn, change the lives of others. New Life will award twelve (12) scholarships, totaling $30,000 to deserving students that demonstrate academic excellence, exemplify sound moral character, and portray the wholistic characteristics that are the mission of our ministry.
