Hannah began holding Bible Study services on Thursday nights in Blackwell Memorial AME Zion church near 39th and Cottage Grove Avenue, in September 2003. By the time the first Sunday morning service was held, New Life Covenant Oakwood Church had nearly 300 members. God and the growing space issues. He would often say to the church, ‘this is a great problem to have.’ Yet, in his private fellowship with God, he would remind Him, ‘You have a problem.’ God answered those conversations by directing Pastor Hannah to purchase property in the Grand Crossing neighborhood, and in October 2008, New Life had its first Sunday services in the 78th and Dobson location, referred to as the “Tabernacle.” NewAddress NewLife In March 2004, New Life Covenant Oakwood called the Charles A. Hayes Family Investment Center on 48th and Wabash “home” every Sunday morning for worship. The location ended up being very temporary, as the word was spreading about the church that did not mirror any other worship experience in the city at that time. Despite your church background, or whether you had none, the atmosphere at New Life was conducive for an encounter with God and people were hungry for Him. The Tabernacle represented “new life,” as it marked the end of renting venues on Sundays and Thursdays. However, the reprieve was short lived as, even with three services, the Tabernacle could not contain what could now be described as a movement. Having the new location gave some hesitant visitors a sense of stability, and more people began to join. To help facilitate the feeling of family, Pastor Hannah instituted quarterly Unity Services where all services would meet at one time in a larger location. This was necessary since not one Sunday passed since the church’s inception where someone did not come forward to make New Life their home. After much prayer, Pastor Hannah followed God’s leading and began renting a facility previously used for those Unity Services to hold two of the Sunday services each week. With a hunger for God being the driving force for exponential growth, Pastor Hannah’s motto seemed to be, ‘when I move, you move...just like that.’ By January of 2005, New Life was worshipping at its third location, King College Preparatory High School. At King College Prep, there was an explosion. By now, people were able to see and feel the changes that were inspired by these regular God encounters and members’ family and friends would come just to see what the hype was about. And often, they never left after that first visit. So, when no more seats could be added, New Life Covenant Oakwood began adding services. Still, another move was inevitable, as the auditorium was bursting at the seams in all three Sunday services and Thursday night Bible study. While in awe of the move of God, Pastor Hannah remained sensitive to both the voice of Today, New Life operates out of the Tabernacle on Thursday nights and for the early morning service on Sunday mornings before Pastor Hannah travels to the UIC Forum, near downtown Chicago, to conduct the remaining two services at that location. Simultaneously, we are knee-deep in the Temple Project, fundraising and planning for our new home church, the “Temple.” How does it all happen each week? When God moves, we move, just like that.
