Dear Church Family,

Katie and I are so thankful for all God is doing here at New Beginnings. Week after week, we see lives changed, families strengthened, and people finding hope in Jesus. What a blessing it is to be part of this story!

As we’ve continued to grow, we’ve now reached the point where our current campus is at full capacity. While that’s a good problem to have, it also means we can no longer expand our ministry impact where we are. That’s why we believe God is calling us to take a bold step of faith by taking a step Forward.

This campaign isn’t just about building a new campus. It’s about creating space for people to meet Jesus, for families to be discipled, for our community to be served, for the nations to be reached, and for future generations to carry the mission forward.

We invite you to join us in prayer, in faith, and in participation as together we move Forward.

With love and gratitude,

Pastor Jeremy & Katie

New Beginnings has reached a pivotal moment. God has blessed us with growth and with that growth, we have truly outgrown our current campus. It’s not only on Sunday mornings where every seat is filled, but throughout the week our building is alive with ministry.

Outside Ministries: Our space is used to serve kids and families through activities that open doors to relationships and discipleship.

Kingdom Kids Co-Op: Families gather here to educate, disciple, and grow together, using every available classroom and hallway.

Discipleship Growth: Small groups, Bible studies, and leadership classes continue to expand, stretching the limits of our meeting space.

Community Groups: Our building has become a home for local gatherings and ministries outside our own walls, a testimony of God’s heart for the city.

Community Events: Programs like Christmas Share and Breakfast with Santa have filled our campus with families from all over the area, reminding us that our church is a hub for blessing and outreach.

Simply put every square foot of our current campus is being used to its maximum capacity. To keep growing, serving, and reaching, we must take this step Forward.

“They worshiped together at the Temple each day… shared their meals with great joy and generosity… all the while praising God and enjoying the goodwill of all the people. And each day the Lord added to their fellowship those who were being saved.” — Acts 2:46–47 (NLT)

For the One

Every person matters to God. Jesus left the ninety-nine for the one (Luke 15:4–7). We believe every seat we prepare and every space we build makes room for another life to be transformed by Christ.

For the Family

Families are the heartbeat of our church. From kids’ ministry to youth and marriage support, we want to strengthen homes so faith flourishes from generation to generation (Deuteronomy 6:6–7).

For the Community

God planted NBC in Jasper and Marion County to be a light in this region. Through outreach events, allowing our facility to be used by various entities and community programs, we’ve opened our doors far beyond Sundays (Matthew 5:14–16).

For the Nations

Our mission doesn’t stop at our city limits. Jesus commanded us to go into all the world (Matthew 28:19). Through missions support and outreach, we are sending the gospel beyond our walls.

For the Future

We are not just building buildings - we are preparing a place where future generations will encounter Jesus. Psalm 78:4 reminds us to “tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord.”

The Forward Campaign isn’t just about solving today’s needs  but it’s about preparing for tomorrow’s opportunities. Our master plan shows the big picture of what God could do through this property over time. While we will begin with the first phase of development, this plan gives us a glimpse of the full potential of our future campus.

Highlights of the Master Plan:

Worship Center: A larger space for worship gatherings, with room to grow as God adds to our church family.

Next Generation Spaces: Expanded children’s and youth areas designed to disciple the next generation with excellence.

Community Hub: Multipurpose gathering areas that can host events like Christmas Share, Breakfast with Santa, community meals, and more.

Education & Discipleship Rooms: Classrooms and flexible spaces for Kingdom Kids Co-Op, Bible studies, leadership training, and community groups.

Kids Ministry Wing & Future Daycare: A dedicated wing that provides excellent space for children’s ministry today and creates the opportunity for a daycare in the future serving families in both our church and community.

Outdoor & Recreation Areas: Fields and spaces designed for outreach, recreation, and family connection.

Future Growth Capacity: Land and layout that allow for future buildings and expansions as ministry needs increase.

This plan isn’t about leaving something behind but it’s about making room for future generations, expanding our tables, and bringing more people into the Kingdom of God.

While the Master Plan shows us the full picture of what God can do through this property, Phase One is what we are stepping into right now. This first stage of construction focuses on the most urgent needs of our church and community  which is making space for worship, discipleship, kids, and connection.

Phase One Includes:

600-Seat Worship Center: A sanctuary where more people can gather to worship, hear God’s Word, and experience His presence.

Discipleship Classrooms: Flexible rooms for Bible studies, leadership training, small groups, and additional space for other ministries.

Kids Ministry Wing & Daycare: A secure and welcoming environment for children on Sundays, and a future daycare to serve families in our community throughout the week.

Youth, Fellowship, and Community Space: A multipurpose area designed to serve our students, host church fellowship events, and provide space for community outreach programs such as Christmas Share and Breakfast with Santa.

Pavilion & Outdoor Venue: An outdoor gathering space for worship nights, baptisms, community events, and recreation… making room to reach people beyond the walls of the church.

Phase One is where Forward begins. It’s the step of faith we take together now, creating room today while building toward the vision of tomorrow.

“Unless the Lord builds a house, the work of the builders is wasted.” — Psalm 127:1

At New Beginnings, we believe God will take care of this building. We do not want to forsake ministry for a mortgage. That is why we are asking you to prayerfully consider how He might lead you to partner.

Pray About These Things:

•  Pray for wisdom as we continue maximizing every inch of our

current campus.

•  Pray for God’s provision so we can begin building debt-free or

with minimal burden.

•  Pray about what role He is calling you to play in this vision—

through prayer, service, or giving.

•  Pray for unity and faith as our church steps forward together.
