About New Life Evangelistic Center

New Life Evangelistic Center is based in St. Louis, Missouri. It’s a church and they used to have an emergency shelter in Columbia. However, the Columbia site has since closed. When it was open, they offered supportive services and spiritual counseling as its flagship program for individuals impacted by homelessness, instability, or addiction through non-clinical support.

While it didn’t provide formal addiction treatment, medical detox, or inpatient rehab in its Columbia location, the New Life continues to offer a broad continuum of care via shelter, spiritual guidance, and referrals to specialized treatment providers. Its mission centers on restoring dignity and hope through compassion, faith and community support.

Supportive Spiritual Care & Referral Services

The supportive services program served individuals and families in Columbia, especially those facing homelessness, financial crisis, or housing instability. It was faith-based and non-clinical, focusing on spiritual guidance, food and shelter and helping clients connect with resources for addiction treatment elsewhere when clinical intervention is needed.

Clients participating in spiritual care and referral services received personalized spiritual counseling, community outreach and meals and temporary shelter. Staff assisted in identifying clinical addiction treatment providers or social service agencies, facilitated referrals and provided hope and supportive guidance.

Many individuals reported feeling welcomed and encouraged by caring staff who offer stability and respect during crisis.
