Greetings,

I am delighted that you are navigating our website and have landed on a page where we can get better acquainted!

I am blessed to serve the National Evangelical Church English Language Congregation – a beautifully diverse fellowship of spiritual seekers and sincere believers from all parts of the world who are committed to know and do God’s good, pleasing and perfect will.

During my time in ministry, I have served the church in various ways – as a youth pastor, as an Executive Director of a Christian ministry, as a denominational leader and as a senior leader of multiple congregations.

My greatest joy as a pastor, is to inspire and equip others to answer the call of discipleship – to live daily with a sense of missional imagination and to take the risk to love and serve others in Jesus’ name.

I care deeply about issues related to justice and advocacy for the poor, marginalized and oppressed.

I am humbled to serve a congregation in the ELC that so beautifully reflects the vision God gave the apostle John in Revelation 7:9 – where people of every nation, tribe and tongue are unified in their desire to worship and serve the worthy One!

My wife Kathleen and I are uplifted by an incredibly loving marriage, 4 adult children who love and serve the Lord, the spouses of 3 of our children whom we have enfolded into our family and two recently delivered grandchildren who have served to increase our joy, capacity for love and sense of purpose in all that we do!

Sincerely,
Blaine C Newhouse
