Our Story
Pastor Emmanuel Masih, a dedicated leader, founded the Pakistani New Life Church (PNLC) in 1984 after immigrating from Sialkot, Pakistan. Recognizing the need for a Desi church, he began worship programs in his home with fellow leaders. In 1986, PNLC officially started services in a small chapel, growing to become the largest Urdu Service church in Philadelphia. Today, PNLC serves over 400 members weekly at 3117 Longshore Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19149, fostering a vibrant community.
