Let Us Help You Plan Your Visit...


The Church:

To be a body of believers who embrace the Good News of Jesus Christ, who want to enjoy all that it offers having the empty spaces in their lives filled with the Love of Jesus! Who realize that the Pentecostal experience, the active work of the Holy Spirit today in our daily lives, is the foundation we are to be built on and is what is necessary and key to help us constantly work toward being complete, not lacking or omitting anything. 

The Mission:

This body of believers as it grows closer to God realizes it must follow Jesus’ command to be active in spreading the Gospel to all creation, relying on the Power of the Holy Spirit as its source of power. Realizing that just as the tabernacle was designed to move in the desert that people today are dying in a desert of sin and they need us to come to them, whether at home, regionally, nationally, or internationally. A tabernacle that is always ready to move to where God needs us the most.

The Dream:

To not be a small church, but a true tabernacle, a house of true worship, designed for a continually increasing congregation. To have the vision to enlarge the tent when needed to hold as many as possible wherever needed until the day the Lord comes back and we dwell with Jesus in the eternal temple that will never be destroyed!

 

The Foundation of our church strives for excellence in these 7 pillars:

  • The Word – Making it a part of our daily lives in as many ways as possible.
  • Worship – Allowing complete freedom to express our love, thanks, and admiration to God in as many ways as possible.
  • Holy Spirit – Allowing the Holy Spirit to be in 100% control, 100% of the time.
  • Missions – Actively taking part in taking the Gospel throughout the world.
  • Ministry – Always looking to provide for the needs of our church family, while looking for new and creative ways to meet the needs of those in our community.
  • Youth & Children’s Ministry – Realizing they are the future of the church by taking great care to provide the highest quality Christian Education and encouraging and providing ministry opportunities for our young people to own their faith.
  • Prayer – God is our CEO; we always ask God’s advice before we do anything.

Suzie EnterlineHi People!

I’m Susie, and there are basically two facts you need to know about me…I LOVE JESUS and I LOVE CHILDREN!  When it comes to kids…are they messy and gooey?  Of course!  Can they be “hyper” and annoying?  Definitely!  Are they totally unpredictable?  Oh yeah!  But, in spite of all this, I’m still so fond of those “wee ones” because they’re so cute, loving, and irresistible!

Little ones always know how to make us laugh and keep us young at heart.  They can be very energetic, adventurous, creative, and fun-loving.  But the most endearing things about children are they are extremely trusting and have imaginations to believe in what cannot be seen –to have faith for the impossible to come true.  Every child has seeds of greatness inside.

If you are looking for a fun place to bring your children, where they can learn to DREAM BIG and let those seeds take root and grow, …Why not bring them to New Beginnings Church? You and your children will be glad you did!

Munsaka Shambweka - Worship/Creative Pastor

LONDON RUSS 29

Munsaka grew up in Zambia, Central Africa. He was drawn to music and worship while in Highschool. He pursued higher education and ministry in neighboring Namibia where he served in different capacities as Worship director and this was the defining point of his call to ministry through worship. He also attended Rhema Bible Training Center and Northrise University for ministry and Bible training. He has spent time both in Zambia and neighboring countries doing worship ministry. In the last 5 years, Munsaka has continued to grow and pursue his gifts further by serving youth and women in Nonprofit ministries and churches, helping the less privileged in community sharing the love of God with them.

Munsaka is married to his wonderful wife, Abby who is a former NextGen manager at a church in Zambia. She is passionate about the next generation coming to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ and remaining faithful to impact generations after them.

When Munsaka is not serving or leading worship, he likes to watch movies with his wife, beat his wife at online scrabble, cook, go on outdoor adventures and also likes to watch Youtube videos learning all things music.

When asked, "what are you most excited about as you come into this role?" Munsaka says, "I love Jesus and I love people. I am excited to get to know everyone and build great relationships. God loves when we worship Him and I love worshiping God and so I’m excited to help build an atmosphere of worship as we lead people into God's presence worshiping God in Spirit and in Truth and as we await a mighty revival. The best is yet to come.”

Johninthin Hain - Youth and Young Adult Pastor

Johninthin HainJohn Hain and Gray is our Young Adult/Evangelism Pastor. He is married to Ashley. They have a daughter Makenzie, and a dog Gray. John says I am real. What you see is what you get. I humble myself daily knowing I am not in charge.  I am a person who tries to do God’s will daily.  But I fall short. I accept that, and brush myself off, ask for forgiveness, and continue with the Lord.  I look for the love, peace, and  joy all around us, and all the blessings He has given me.  I keep it simple knowing He will provide everything I need.  I know I am not perfect, and I know no one else is either.  So I do not judge.  All I can do is share my experience, strength, and hope  with  everyone.  I pulled the positives instead of the negatives.  I love to be out fishing in nature.  My philosophy is God, my family,  and then me.  The gratitude I have for life today is way different than what I had  when I was growing  up.
