ABOUT
​
​
In 2003, God gave a vision to a small group of people to plant a church on Mather Street. They believed that God was calling them to establish an extraordinary church. That goal has remained the same for almost two decades, and today New Life Worship Center exists to help people encounter God and experience life transformation.

The Cordero Family
The Cordero family is the foundation of the New Life Worship Center. Willie Cordero serves as Senior Pastor with his wife, First Lady, Raiza. They have three children who are all on the worship team. Their heart is to see people restored holistically: spiritually, physically, emotionally, and relationally. They know that free and whole individuals will become the Church that the community runs to, not away from. They are excited about leading such a church and seeing the power of God transform the culture in Hartford and the surrounding region.
