Our Team
Senior Pastor, Greg Carroll
Pastor Greg began his Pastoral ministry in 1987, and has Pastored several churches across the Southeastern United States.
In 1992, He earned a Bachelor of Ministry degree from Brewton-Parker College, and went on to receive his Master of Divinity degree from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary in 1995. He has been ministering to the Hayesville community since 2005. And, in January of 2009, He, along with a small group of believers, founded New Life Church.
Ten years later, this church plant is still thriving and showing the love of Christ to the people of Hayesville, and beyond. Under Pastor Greg’s leadership, New Life has also planted and built a church in Honduras.
In his spare time, Greg enjoys farming, studying the Word of God, and spending time with his family. His wife's name is Lisa and they have three grown children, Laura Farmer, Will Carroll, and Jake Carroll, plus eight wonderful grandchildren.
Music Director, Diana Brailsford
Diana began her journey in music ministry in 1997. She has been active with multiple churches throughout her career but has found her way home to New Life Church.
She was a member of the Marine Corps music field and has undergraduate degrees in Business Administration and Computer Information Systems. Diana holds a Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education and has taught all levels of music.
Diana was called into the ministry nearly thirty years ago and has never stopped growing in Christ. She is always eager to find ways to involve anyone with a desire to be part of the music ministry.
In her spare time, she enjoys riding a Honda Goldwing with her husband Steve, playing with their three dogs, and of course, finding new music for worship.
