About Us
In 2021 Pastor Robb Bierbaum left a college ministry and moved his family from Denver Colorado to become our first full-time Associate Pastor. Then on January 1st of 2023 he traded roles with our Founding Pastor and became the Lead Pastor of NewLife.
NewLife got its start in September of 2007 when Pastor Alan Brooks was called by God to leave Calvary Chapel of ABQ where he had served for 12 years and start a new church on Albuquerque Metro’s westside. For the first 18 months, NewLife met in a hotel and then leased and renovated a warehouse for the next four years. In the Spring of 2013 God miraculously opened the door for us to purchase our current property, and has enabled us to become the proverbial light on the hill above Albuquerque.

Leadership
Robb Bierbaum - Lead Pastor

Robb received a calling to follow Jesus at an early age but didn’t fully respond until his college days. In the middle of the greatest time of regret, Jesus met him and reached into his life and rescued him from sin and brought him into God’s family as a son. Robb and his wife Kendra have four children, Karaline, Joshua, Norah and Jace. God had Robb ministering to college men for 8 years in Denver before calling him into pastoral ministry in 2021 where he now serves as the Lead Pastor of NewLife.
Alan Brooks - Founding Pastor

Alan & his wife Lisa have been married for over 30yrs and have two adult sons. They both became devoted followers of Jesus through the ministry of Skip Heitzig & Calvary Chapel. Alan has a Masters Degree in Biblical Counseling and served as the Children’s Pastor for Calvary Chapel for 12yrs before founding NewLife church. His favorite movie is “Les Miserables” because he loves the story of redemption and changed lives. In his personal time he likes reading & hiking…just not the same time. One of the things he likes most about NewLife, is the genuine love that the people seek to express to one another.
