Pastor Winston Titus joined us from First Assembly of God in Fargo, North Dakota as Senior Pastor of New Life in January of 2011.

He ministered on the North Dakota Assemblies of God district level for sixteen years, during which time, he held the position of State Director for Youth and Christian Education, and finally, served in a two-fold capacity as Administrative Assistant to the District Superintendent and Church Ministries Director.

Winston grew up as part of a large family in the Mohall, North Dakota area. After completing his education at Minot State University, he went into the family business. It was then that he received a call to the ministry. In obedience to the call, he returned to college, completing ministerial courses at Trinity Bible College in Ellendale, North Dakota. His first pastoral position was in the Harvey, North Dakota community.

Winston and his wife, Candyce, have Lutheran and Catholic backgrounds. From the time they accepted Christ, their lives have been filled with excitement and adventure. They are the proud parents of four grown children.

Winston’s personal vision is to love people into the kingdom of God, and equip them to live rich and purposeful lives. His personal goal is to set an example for others in speech and actions, bringing glory and honor to God; and he endeavors to follow Christ’s model of humility and sacrifice for others.
