Founded in January 2000 as a United Pentecostal Church International congregation, New Life Tabernacle Pentecostal Church in La Mesa California occupies Suite F at 7590 El Cajon Boulevard. The UPCI-ordained leadership graduated from the Christian Service Training Institute Bible College and previously served in associate ministry before establishing this multicultural congregation on the same El Cajon Boulevard corridor as Calvary Chapel La Mesa. Programming includes a children's ministry and youth group alongside the main worship gathering, with midweek Bible study sessions structured around verse-by-verse instruction in the Apostolic Pentecostal tradition. The El Cajon Boulevard location sits within a multi-use commercial complex that also houses creative-arts programming at La Mesa Arts Academy, placing the church within a corridor of education and community-service organizations east of Baltimore Drive. Worship follows the Acts 2:38 doctrinal framework emphasizing water baptism in Jesus' name and the baptism of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues, a theological distinctive within the broader Pentecostal movement.
