Apostle Archie R. Robinson founded New Birth Kingdom Covenant Fellowship in College Area, San Diego on August 27, 1997, originally under the name New Birth Christian Fellowship before expanding into a training and development center model. Robinson, who moved to San Diego from Texas at 18 and has served in ministry for more than 48 years, leads community-engagement work through the San Diego Area Congregations for Change, Pastors on Point, and the Community Assistance Service Team. The 4789 El Cajon Blvd campus in the 92115 ZIP sits near the 48th Street intersection, and community programming serves College Area residents through the same civic network that includes Life Community Center for neighborhood resource fairs on the boulevard. Robinson's prison ministry reaches men and women in San Diego County detention facilities, and his San Diego Compassion Project work assists families of victims of gang-related and violent deaths with grief support and practical aid. Co-founder YuVette M. Robinson co-leads the pastoral team and brings a personal testimony of recovery from full left-side paralysis following a stroke at age 25, which anchors the congregation's healing-ministry emphasis. The church's outreach mission—reaching the homeless, displaced, and incarcerated—runs parallel to the city-wide congregational mobilization coordinated through Rock Church City Heights in the same eastern San Diego service area. Robinson was elevated to the office of Apostle in 2005 and has since served as vice president of Pastors on Point, an organization that galvanizes local pastors to address the social and economic needs of communities throughout San Diego County.
