Government, world events, issues and headlines, both at home and abroad, make this some of the most exciting and unstable times in which to live. For this reason, many are looking for stability, strength, and answers to questions that seem unanswerable. If you are one of that largely growing numbers, let us introduce you to New Life Tabernacle in the farming community of Corcoran, California.

Our History:
New Life Tabernacle began in January of 1952. This young church began in a garage of one of the earlier saints, from a garage they put up a tent behind one of the saints homes to hold services in. From the tent they moved to a small building in the area of Perry Heights. Later the church was given a piece of property in which the Church is now located on, on the Corner of Lorina & Soto Ave. The saints of the church purchased an old Army Barracks building from an Airfield in Bakersfield, California. Bringing the building to the city of Corcoran was quite an experience. Later the church added a foyer to the north side of the building and then Sunday School Classrooms to the east side of the building. Several years later the church was able to purchase the vacant land to the east of the present building.
The future of New Life Tabernacle is found in the hands of God. Plans for a new facility have been drawn, but the timing of such an endeavor is in Gods hands.
The Ministries of New Life Tabernacle continue to grow and prosper. New Life Tabernacle is a full family ministry, ministering to the needs of every age group and ethnic groups.
The enthusiasm and vision of Pastor Hale has been transferred to each of the ministry leaders of New Life Tabernacle, thus the growth and excitement of the congregation continue to perpetuate.
We here in Corcoran have a firm belief that we have what you are looking for!
We extend a hearty invitation to you and your family to come and grow with us!
