New Life
Life Groups

Joe & Megan Risner

Hello! We are the Risner family and we’ve been attending New Life since 2017. We are an adventurous family. We like to be outdoors and active, but most importantly, we enjoy authentic biblical discussion. We have a desire to see young adults in New Life link arms with one another in fervent pursuit of the Lord. and to grow as a family. 

Jonathan & Sarah Faircloth

We are passionate to see people experience freedom in worship and daily living. We have a desire to see others experience God in a real way, (without any fake smiles or pretending) and strive to create a place for honesty and true accountability.

Grace to you, from the Faircloth family.

Trevor & Lauren Rickard

Trevor and Lauren have been youth pastors at New Life since around 2009. They have a heart to help facilitate a community of young people who are passionately pursuing God and growing in their knowledge and understand of Him. 7th – 12th graders are invited over to their house Sundays after second service for food, fellowship, and biblical discussion revolving around that mornings sermon. If you’re a young person who enjoys spending time with your peers while at the same time being challenged to grow in your faith then this is the Life Group for you.

Mitch & Grace Blue

(Adult Focused)

We have lived in Tooele for over 30 years. We have 4 grown children & 12 grandchildren. We love being grandparents & spending quality time with our family (when we’re not camping 😉 ) We have been attending New Life since 2011. Grace has a heart to serve others, for women who attend church alone, to see them connect & build friendships. We enjoy seeing what God’s doing in people’s lives. Hospitality is one of our gifts. We love our church and pastor. We’d love to hangout with you on Sunday afternoons!

Mary's & Martha's Life Group

The Marys and Marthas Life Group is led by Barbara Kunz. Its focus is to reach out to those ladies who attend church by themselves. We enjoy sharing meals together, encouraging each other and lifting each other up in prayer. If you would like to join us to further your understanding of our God’s Word and grow in your relationship with Jesus Christ, please click the button below.

Darrell & Kate Walker

Hi! We are Darrell and Kate Walker. We’ve been married since 2003. Our family of 13 includes adopted, step and biological children. We moved to Utah from Chatsworth, GA, and have lived in the Tooele area since 2020. We enjoy camping, hiking, sharing life with our church family and sharing Jesus with our community.

We have experienced a wide variety of parenting situations, as we’ve seen three of our children get started in their adult life, while we still have 8 kids living at home. We love it when we get the opportunity to walk with others in their parenting journey.

Our life group meets on Sunday evenings and includes families and singles, older and younger members. We’d love to have you join us!

We love to travel, try new foods, and will find any reason at all to celebrate! Our home is a safe place to come as you are and grow deeper in your walk with Jesus.

Jay and Kristie Galvan

(Adult Focused)

We are the Galvan family and we have attended New Life since 2021. We originally came to New Life to attend a funeral service for Dennis Galvan (Jay’s brother) and immediately felt welcomed and like a part of the family. We live in Muraym Utah but we find the drive well worth it to receive sound doctrine being taught by Pastor Mark. 

We have been married for 50+ years. We both received Christ as our Lord and Savior through our divorce after 7 years of marriage. God healed not only our hearts but also our marriage. We have a passion to spread the gospel, Jay through daily evangelism and Kristie through homeschooling our grandson.

Pleas join us in the Upper Room at the Blues home at 2:00Pm as we search the scriptures. Sound Doctrine matters and we have a heart to share that passion.
