A church home just minutes from USF
A short drive down Busch Boulevard from campus. Whether you are a student far from home, a young family in the University area, or simply new to Tampa, come as you are and find a place where you belong. We mean it when we say no soul left behind.
A home away from home for the USF community
New Life Tabernacle sits just south of the University of South Florida on East Busch Boulevard, a short drive from campus and the surrounding University area, Tampa Palms, and Temple Terrace. If you are a student, you do not have to spend your college years without a church family. There is a seat saved for you.

Faces you will see on Sunday
Questions before you visit
Yes. You will find a community of students and young adults, a midweek Bible study, and people who will learn your name. Come as you are, and bring a friend if you like.
We are a short drive down Busch Boulevard, roughly ten minutes from campus, with free parking right out front when you arrive.
The main morning service starts at 11:00 AM. Come a few minutes early to settle in. If you love to pray, corporate prayer begins at 8:30 AM and again 30 minutes before the service.
The easiest first step is to plan a visit, then fill out a connect card when you arrive. From there you can join a Bible study, the Monday fellowship dinner, or a midweek service.
