About Us
In 2004, God led a small group of people to start a church whose purpose would make a difference in the lives of others. It would be a place where everyone is welcome no matter where they are in their life or what they are facing. A place to meet and worship God, where the Bible is taught and revered, and love and forgiveness is practiced.
At New Beginnings we strive to reach out to others who have never heard the Gospel message. We are here to help each other through difficult times, accomplish goals, and surround each other with encouragement and support.
