01 · Leadership
PHIL +
PHIL +
Jamie.
Pastors Phil and Jamie Hutchings are the founding pastors of Higher Life Church in Quispamsis, New Brunswick. With a passion to see people encounter the life-changing power of Jesus Christ, they have devoted their lives to preaching the Gospel, raising up strong believers, and seeing Canada impacted by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Since launching Higher Life Church, they have watched God transform countless lives through salvations, healing, discipleship, and community outreach, while building a church committed to biblical truth, passionate worship, and the moving of the Holy Spirit.
In 2021, during the COVID-19 restrictions, Pastor Phil made national headlines after choosing to continue gathering the church for worship in obedience to his convictions regarding religious freedom. His stand ultimately resulted in seven days in jail, including time in solitary confinement. That season strengthened their resolve to boldly preach the Gospel and defend the freedom of the Church in Canada.
Today, together with their three children—Summer, Rowan, and Victoria—they continue to champion revival, biblical values, and the hope found in Jesus Christ. Their vision extends beyond one congregation as they work to see healthy churches planted, leaders equipped, and communities reached throughout Atlantic Canada and beyond.

WHAT WE
believe.
A clear, accessible presentation of the church’s existing statement of faith. Open any belief to read its supporting references and full summary.
01The Baptism in the Holy Ghost and Fire+
Matthew 3:11 · John 14:16–17 · Acts 1:8; 2:4; 2:38–39; 19:1–7
The Baptism in the Holy Ghost and fire is a gift from God as promised by the Lord Jesus Christ to all believers in this dispensation and is received subsequent to the new birth. This experience is accompanied by the evidence of speaking in other tongues as the Holy Spirit Himself gives utterance.
02Sanctification+
Hebrews 12:14 · I Thessalonians 5:23 · II Peter 3:18 · I Corinthians 1:30 · II Corinthians 3:18 · Philippians 3:12–14
The Bible teaches that without holiness no man can see the Lord. We believe in the doctrine of sanctification as a definite yet progressive work of grace, commencing at the time of regeneration and continuing until the consummation of salvation.
03Resurrection of the Just and the Return of Our Lord+
Acts 1:11 · I Thessalonians 4:16–17 · Revelation 20:6
The angels said, “This same Jesus…shall so come in like manner…” His coming is imminent. When He comes, the dead in Christ shall rise first, then those who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them to meet the Lord. Following the tribulation, He shall return to earth as King of Kings and Lord of Lords, and reign with His saints for a thousand years.
04Hell and Eternal Retribution+
Hebrews 9:27 · Revelation 19:20
The one who physically dies in his sins without Christ is hopelessly and eternally lost in the Lake of Fire, and therefore has no further opportunity of hearing the Gospel or repenting. The Lake of Fire is literal, and the terms “eternal” and “everlasting” carry the meaning of endless existence.
05The Scriptures+
I Thessalonians 2:13 · II Timothy 3:16 · II Peter 1:21
The Bible is the inspired Word of God, the product of holy men of old who spoke and wrote as they were moved by the Holy Spirit. The New Covenant, as recorded in the New Testament, is accepted as the infallible guide in matters pertaining to conduct and doctrine.
06The Godhead+
I John 5:7 · John 1:14; 14:28; 16:28 · John 15:26
Our God is one but is manifested in three persons—the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit—being co-equal. God the Father is the Source of the Word and the Begetter. The Holy Spirit proceeds from both the Father and the Son and is eternal.
07Man—His Fall and Redemption+
Romans 3:23 · Romans 3:10 · Ephesians 2:8
Man is a created being, made in the likeness and image of God, but through Adam’s transgression and fall, sin came into the world. Jesus Christ, the Son of God, was manifested to undo the work of the devil and gave His life and shed His blood to redeem and restore man back to God. Salvation is the gift of God, made operative by grace through faith in Jesus Christ.
08Eternal Life and New Birth+
John 3:3–5 · II Corinthians 7:10 · I John 5:12
Man’s first step toward salvation is godly sorrow that worketh repentance. The new birth is necessary to all men, and when fulfilled, it produces eternal life.
09Water Baptism+
Matthew 28:19 · Acts 8:36–39 · Romans 6:4 · Colossians 2:12
Baptism in water by immersion is a direct commandment of our Lord and is for believers only. The ordinance is a symbol of the Christian’s identification with Christ in His death, burial, and resurrection.

01 · The invitation
A GREAT FAITH company.
Higher Life Pentecostal Fellowship exists to bring together pastors, ministers, and churches who desire meaningful connection, encouragement, and kingdom partnership while maintaining their full independence.
Every church and ministry remains self-governing, led by its own pastors and leadership, while choosing to walk in fellowship with like-minded, Spirit-filled ministers who share a passion for revival, soul-winning, the Holy Ghost, biblical authority, and strong Pentecostal faith.
Through ministry relationships, revival meetings, leadership training, guest speakers, practical resources, prayer, fellowship, and collaboration, the aim is simple: to come alongside ministers and churches with encouragement, strength, and genuine relationship.

Give your life to Jesus today
A NEW LIFE starts here.
Your past can be forgiven. You can become a child of God and begin a brand-new life with Christ.
Read the good news
WHY DO I
need Jesus?
Every one of us has sinned. The Bible says, “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). Sin separates us from God and leaves us guilty, broken, and unable to save ourselves.
The good news is that God loves you so much that He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to do what you could never do. Jesus lived a perfect, sinless life, died on the cross to pay the penalty for your sins, and rose from the dead three days later. He is alive today and offers forgiveness, peace, a brand-new life, and the promise of eternal life to everyone who believes in Him.
Salvation is not earned by being a good person, attending church, or doing enough good works. It is a free gift received by grace through faith in Jesus Christ.
Today, you can leave your past behind. Your sins can be forgiven. You can become a child of God and begin a brand-new life with Christ.
