What is New Beginnings Christian Church?
We are a non-denominational Christian church. The term non-denominational refers to the fact that we are not formally associated with any established denomination. We see ourselves simply as "Christians only" under the Lordship of Jesus Christ submitting to his authoritative Word, the Bible. It is our intent to simply be a part of the original church, which Jesus initiated with His death, burial, and resurrection, and was established on the Day of Pentecost as described in the New Testament in Acts 2.
New Beginnings Christian Church exists to be a place where people can learn of God's plan and love for them through friendship, relevant teaching, moving worship, and serving. Teaching them how to experience all God has in store for them: love, community, healing and purpose. A place to love and a place to be loved!

That He was born Jesus of Nazareth, both fully human and fully divine, conceived of the Holy Spirit and the virgin Mary, (Matthew 21:11; John 19:19 / John 1:14; Romans 5:15-17; Colossians 2:9; 1 John 1:1 / Matthew 1:18; Luke 1:26-38)

That He ascended into Heaven and now sits at the right hand of God the Father, (Luke 22:69; Acts 1:1-9; Colossians 3:1)
And He will return to earth to judge both the living and the dead. (Matthew 24:36-42; John 14:1-3; Acts 1:10-11; 10:39-42; 1 Peter 4:5)
About the Holy Spirit
We believe in the Holy Spirit, who is an active and operative part of the triune God (John 16:5-15; Acts 1:7-8; Romans 8:26-27)
That he resides inside every Christian. (1 Corinthians 3:16; 6:19; 2 Timothy 1:14)
About the Bible
We accept the Bible as the final authority for all matters of faith and practice. (Isaiah 40:8; Matthew 5:18; 24:35; Romans 15:4; Hebrews 4:12)
We believe the Bible is God's Word. We believe it is inspired by God, that the original writings of the authors are complete and without error. (Mark 12:36; John 14:26; 16:12-15; Acts 1:16; 1 Corinthians 2:12-13; 2 Timothy 3:14-16; 2 Peter 1:20-21)
We believe the Bible teaches that man, created by God, willfully sinned against God and is consequently lost and without hope apart from Jesus Christ. (Acts 4:12; Romans 3:23)
About the Church
We believe in the Church of Jesus Christ, founded on the Day of Pentecost and consisting of all Christians everywhere. (Matthew 16:13-18; Acts 2:14-47)
We believe the Bible teaches that the Elders are to exercise authority over the local congregation. (Acts 20:28; Philippians 1:1; 1 Timothy 3:1-7; Titus 1:5-9; 1 Peter 5:1-4)
About Salvation and Mankind
We believe the Bible teaches that man, created by God, has willfully sinned against God and is consequently lost and without hope apart from Jesus Christ. (Acts 4:12; Romans 3:23)
We believe the Bible teaches that salvation and the forgiveness of sins is achieved only by grace through the blood of Jesus Christ. (Matthew 26:28; Romans 5:9; Ephesians 2:8-9; 1 Peter 1:18-19; 1 John 1:7)
We believe the Bible teaches that one receives God's grace by putting ones faith in Christ, repenting of sin, confessing Christ, and being immersed into Christ, but that none of these is sufficient in and of itself for the assurance of salvation. (Romans 5:1-2 / Luke 24:45-47; Acts 3:19; 17:30; 2 Peter 3:9 Matthew 10:32; Romans 10:9; Philippians 2:11; 1 John 4:15 / Acts 2:38; Romans 6:1-7; Galatians 3:27; Colossians 2:12; 1 Peter 3:21)
