Happy New Year! It's the month of new beginnings, and we are excited to share all the blessings of 2025 with each of you. Here at New Beginnings Church the year of 2025 continues to be the year of PURPOSE with our aim of BeFRIEND ONE! We will place our focus each day on Acts 2:42, "They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to FELLOWSHIP, to the breaking of bread and to prayer." Join us at 29 Park Place Dr., Covington for 9am or 10:30am each Sunday, and hear how God will use New Beginnings Church to fulfill the purposes of His Word as we focus on FELLOWSHIP and BEFREINDING ONE this year. We'll see you soon!

To be a true disciple we must live a life of love and be willing to serve others. Not only should we serve/volunteer within our church, but we must step outside the walls of the church and enter the “mission field”: the community and world around us.

Mark 10:45, “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

1 Peter 4:10, “Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.”

Matthew 25:40, "The King will reply, “'Truly I tell you whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.'”

Romans 15:1-2, Matthew 5:16, Hebrews 6:10, Philippians 4:9, Isaiah 1:17, Acts 13:47

Vision

The vision of New Beginnings is to reach the Northshore community with the life giving message of Jesus Christ, and to teach those we reach to become true disciples, ultimately reproducing themselves. We say it like this....reach and teach we don't just want them to know, but to grow.

Purpose

The purpose of New Beginnings is to be a life giving beacon of hope, a sanctuary for the hopeless, and a haven for the downtrodden. As Jesus Himself said, "It's not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick". New Beginnings is a place for a fresh start.
