Who we are

New Life Baptist Church started as a home prayer study with Pastor Norris Hodges leading the group. A charter was drafted and signed to officially constitute an independent Baptist church on November 1997.

The church initially met in the cafeteria at Treadway Elementary School before moving to a rented home on County Road 44. Seven acres were purchased on Poe Street at Radio Road as the permanent site for the church.

Services began in the new church facility in August of 2000. In 2003, Pastor Norris Hodges asked Dr. Bob Ware to take over New Life Baptist Church due to health issues. A new building was added in 2007 for offices and a fellowship hall which allowed NLBC to develop our children’s and seniors programs.

In October of 2016, Pastor Bob Ware retired and the church called Pastor Greg Wilmore. Pastor Wilmore has a vision to build on the base of senior adults here in Leesburg, as well as develop a vibrant youth ministry that trains young people to serve the Lord.

Leader Bio:

Greg was born again at the age of eight and was brought up in church all of his life. He attended Christian school from 4th grade through 12th grade. Under the ministry of Wilbur Hurt, at eighteen years old he surrendered to serving the Lord in whatever capacity God led. Greg attended one year of Bible College where he met his wife Renee. At the time he did not sense the call of God on his life for full-time ministry, so Greg began to work a secular job and was active in the local church. Eight years later God used the circumstances of a construction accident to call him to full-time ministry. Greg immediately enrolled in night classes and soon became a full-time student in preparation for the ministry. The Wilmores worked as laymen at Bethel Baptist Church under the ministry of Randy Parker, serving in children’s ministry, bus ministry, teen ministry, as well as college & career from 1985-2000. He was licensed to preach in 1997.

After completing his Bible College Education in 2000 at Heritage Baptist University, the Lord moved the Wilmores to Orlando, Florida in 2001 and Greg served as the assistant pastor to Dr. Steve Ware at Tabernacle Baptist Church. Greg was ordained while at Tabernacle in 2006. Greg and Renee served faithfully in the church and school until the Lord called him to Pastor First Baptist Church of Matlacha (Cape Coral, Florida) in July of 2007. The church grew from ten to over sixty in eighteen months. He resigned in 2009 from this ministry and was instrumental in helping the church call its next Pastor.

In July of 2010 God directed the Wilmores to Dothan, Alabama to Pastor Mimosa Drive Baptist Church. Within one year, God allowed this church to merge with another Independent Baptist Church one half-mile away, and the Church reorganized as Victory Baptist Church. Pastor Greg has written a book entitled, “Knowing Your Place in the Ministry” which tackles the topic of serving as an assistant pastor. This book was published in 2017. In October of 2016 God called Pastor Wilmore to Leesburg serving as the Senior Pastor here at N.L.B.C.
