Our Pastors & Leaders
Wayne Schaffer | Lead Pastor
Lead Pastor | Servant Leader | Faithful Shepherd
Pastor Wayne is passionate about helping people experience the life-changing power of God’s Word. Known for his practical, down-to-earth teaching style, he communicates timeless biblical truths in ways that are easy to understand—and even easier to apply to everyday life.
In addition to serving as Lead Pastor at New Life Worship Center, Pastor Wayne also serves as Presbyter for the South Central West Section of the PennDel Ministry Network (Assemblies of God), where he supports and encourages other pastors and churches in the region.
A Life of Ministry and Purpose
Raised in a pastor’s home, Wayne felt the call to ministry at just 16 years old. He was credentialed with the Assemblies of God in 1991 and has been serving in full-time ministry ever since—faithfully pastoring in both associate and lead roles before coming to New Life in 2008.
Family & Fun
Wayne and his wife, Suzanne, have been married since 1992 and love doing ministry together. They’re proud parents to two amazing adult children—Michael (Victoria) and Carly (Derrick Wilson)—and absolutely love being grandparents to their three energetic grandsons.
When he's not preaching or leading, Pastor Wayne enjoys traveling on mission trips, exploring new restaurants, and ending the day with a bowl of Suzanne’s homemade ice cream (a favorite among family and friends!).
