In 1988, the church name was changed to New Life Apostolic Church of Watkinsville, Georgia, Inc., and a major renovation project had the church building bricked and the parking lot paved.  Reverend Timothy D. Hammond became full-time Assistant Pastor February 1, 1994.  The church continued to progress as facility additions were made.  A T-Ball field was added as a joint venture with the Oconee County Little League.

T-Ball games are hosted each year at the ball park.  The 90's brought forth many improvements to New Life.   A new modular building, which is now our Teen Center, was an added blessing.  During this time the original sanctuary was refurbished and given a fresh look.  Home Bible Studies, a Music Department,  Drama Team, and Bus Ministry was organized to enhance and promote the Kingdom of God.  We celebrated our 25th church anniversary in March, 1997.

At the beginning of the new millennium, we began to see a continuous growth as new members, were added to our congregation.  After many years of prayer, fasting, and outreach, we began to reap the benefits.  The spirit of revival and anointed power of God was made evident through the preached Word of God, praise and worship.  Our Drama and Music departments, presented the Christmas Musical, "The Christmas Post" in December 2000.  It was a tremendous success and we made numerous new friends and contacts through this form of outreach.  AS the church continued to grow, there began an urgent need for a larger seating capacity for our services.  The gymnasium was totally remodeled and became the new sanctuary which holds 350 in capacity.  The dining hall was converted into a large foyer consisting of a fireplace, information booth, and rest area.  The entire Sunday School Department was renovated and has provided more classrooms, offices, baptismal and prayer rooms.  The kitchen was changed into a beautiful nursery and provides child care for all services.  These improvements gave room for the old sanctuary to be used for a fellowship banquet hall and also used each Sunday morning for KIDS  J.A.M.   We are excited to share that we have been able to expand our multi-media department, video and sound technology.  It is apparent that God is providing New Life Apostolic Church with continuous opportunities to present the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

As the church continued to grow consistently, Pastor Douglas Hammond felt it was time to appoint his Assistant, Reverend Timothy Hammond, as Pastor.  On April 6, 2002, a special ceremony was held for the "Changing of the Guard."  It was a night filled with memories and blessings as Pastor Douglas Hammond became Bishop and Reverend Timothy Hammond became Pastor.  The church celebrated their 30th year anniversary with special guests speakers, Rev. R.B. Bingham and Rev. Mike Bingham.  We enjoyed several nights filled with anointed preaching, singing and a multi-media presentation.  Also, a beautiful reception was held in honor of our Pastor's and their families.  It was memorable time of spiritual uplifting, reminiscing of past events and vision casting for the New Life Apostolic for days to come.

"To whom much is given, much is required."  Our goal is to see the spirit of revival fire continue to spread throughout our church and community.  We must win the lost at any cost!
