Founded in 1964, our church has been providing spiritual guidance and love to the people of the Grand Rapids area for over 50 years. Built upon the living true word of God, we strive to foster an atmosphere of authentic worship and life changing Holy Ghost power. We love including everyone and offer ministries for all ages, from nursery to senior saints. Previously located in Wyoming, Michigan under the name 'New Life Apostolic', our church relocated in 2007 to it's current location in Grand Rapids, Michigan and was renamed 'Greater Life Pentecostal'. Rev. Dennis Kleiman, pastored our assembly from 1984 to 2015 before stepping down. Our lead pastor Craig Kleiman and wife Faith, have been leading Greater Life Pentecostal since 2016. Greater Life Pentecostal is affiliated with the United Pentecostal Church International.

The Bible

The Bible is the infallible Word of God and the final authority of truth and salvation. (2 Timothy 3:15-17)

The Godhead

There’s but one God. Manifested in the flesh as His Son, Jesus Christ, and as the redemption power of the Holy Ghost. (Deut. 6:4, 2 Corin. 13:14, 1 Tim. 1:17)

The Gospel of Jesus Christ

He was born of a virgin, died on a cross for our sins, and rose again the third day, becoming the supreme sacrifice of sin. He is true God and true man. (Acts 10:38-40, Col. 2:9)

Salvation

Proclaimed on the day of Pentecost; it is found through sincere repentance (death), water baptism by immersion (burial), and receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in tongues (resurrection). (Acts 2:1-39)

Water Baptism

We believe baptism is an act of obedience to the salvation plan. Being buried in water symbolizes the burial of the old nature and the resurrection to the new life. (Acts 2:38, Rom. 6:4)

Holy Spirit

We believe the Holy Spirit is alive and working in the world today. It is the supernatural power and presence of God and is accompanied by the evidence of speaking in tongues. (Acts 1:5, Luke 1:35)

Sanctity of Marriage

Created by God as a sacred covenant relationship between one man and one woman for procreation and companionship. (Gen. 2:24)

Christian Living

Loving God and others, we are to worship God fully and live a life that is pleasing to him both inwardly and outwardly. Our thoughts, actions, and words ought to be guided by the Holy Spirit and set as an example to those around us. (Mark 12:28-31)

The Second Coming

We believe that Jesus Christ is coming again to call away his bride, the church. On that final day judgement shall be given, to the righteous eternal life, and to the unrighteous eternal death. (Rom. 14:10-12, Rev. 20:11-15)
