Pastor Harper

Pastor Harper, the founding pastor of New Life Church, brings a unique background of service to his role. After a 25-year career as a sheriff for Massachusetts, he retired in 2015 to dedicate himself fully to ministry, now providing apostolic leadership and guidance to his congregation. His commitment to service extends beyond the church, as he is an active and supportive presence in the Central Falls community.

A Philadelphia native, Pastor Harper's education includes a degree in Human Services from New Hampshire College and studies at Northeastern University's School of Criminal Justice. He and his wife, Ingrid, have built a life together since 1977, raising two daughters and welcoming three grandsons. They make their home in Providence, Rhode Island.
