Pastors Mark & Dee McKinney have faithfully co-pastored New Life Church for over 25 years, founding the church in 1998. Both trained at Rhema Bible Training College in Oklahoma before being called to start New Life. Married since 1980, they shared a united vision to see people know God, find freedom, discover their purpose, and make a difference in the world. In addition to ministry, Pastors Mark and Dee built a beautiful life together, filled with love and joy. They were proud parents of two children and cherished their roles as grandparents to two wonderful granddaughters and two grandsons. Their family was completed by their beloved dog, Marvin, and an ever-growing number of grand-puppies.

After the passing of her late husband, Pastor Dee retired from her role as Lead Pastor of New Life and has since returned to Oklahoma. There, she continues to passionately minister to people of all ages, encouraging them to seek the Lord and achieve their destiny and purpose in life and walk in their destiny. You can connect with her on YouTube @pastordmckinney.

Pastor Mark was deeply committed to teaching the Word of God and helping people grow in their personal relationship with Him. Outside of ministry, he enjoyed watching Oklahoma State football and tending to his garden.
