Edward L. Ferguson is the Pastor of New Life Fellowship Worship Center, which originated from the Prison Ministry of Pastor Ferguson and his wife Rev. Helen Ferguson. In 1987, the Fergusons began preaching the Word of God to all who would listen through their Prison Ministry. Upon their release, many of those who had heard their powerful sermons wanted to continue to be empowered by the Fergusons’ teachings.

In 1996, the Fergusons along with a 12 others gathered at 4000 W. Franklin Street, which was the site of the Fergusons’ rest haven for individuals who had been released from prison. The group discussed the need for a church. Church services were held in the Days Inn on Route 40, the Holiday Inn on Route 40, and even aboard one of the Fergusons’ chartered buses. Today, New Life Fellowship Worship Center, which is located at 4725 Old Court Road in Pikesville, continues to serve as a sanctuary for souls to be saved and a resource for the community.
