Pastor Dave & Debra Dolan

Pastor Dave & Debra Dolan are the pastors of newlife in rural Sullivan, Illinois, a community located about 16 miles northeast of Mattoon, Illinois.

Pastor Dave and Debra both grew up in strong Christian homes. Heeding the call of God upon their lives, they attended Greenville College in Greenville,  Illinois.  After college, they worked in several churches, in many areas of ministry.   The Dolans have seven children–two sons and five daughters, and four grandsons.

In 1979, God led Dave and Debra to start newlife, a charismatic, non-denominational ministry in Sullivan Illinois. From that first meeting with a handful of people in a home Bible study, newlife has grown to a vibrant congregation of over 500 members with a vision to impact its city, the nation, and the world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Throughout both the local church and future television broadcasts, Pastor Dave’s insight into the Word challenges and inspires believers to grow to new levels in their relationship with God and their service to others. His practical, passionate teaching style causes the Scriptures to come alive in the hearts of people and draws them into a personal encounter with Jesus. This life-changing ministry is committed to raising up and equipping believers to answer the call of God upon their lives and to become all that He created them to be.
