New Beginnings is a member of a family of churches called
Grace Communion International. The Apostle Paul wrote in Acts 20 that
his life was worth nothing if he did not preach the Gospel of God's grace. At New Beginnings we rejoice
in God's grace, and we teach it unapologetically. The Gospel is good news, and it is good news for everyone!
We believe that God chose and adopted in Christ all humanity from before the foundation of the world and has,
through His son Jesus, reconciled the world to Himself.
1 The Triune God created all people to participate through the
vicarious humanity of Jesus Christ in the love relationship
enjoyed by the Father, the Son, and Holy Spirit.
2 The Son became human, the man Jesus Christ, to reconcile all
humanity to God through His birth, life, death, resurrection,
and ascension.
3 The crucified, resurrected and glorified Jesus is the
representative and the substitute for humanity at the right hand
of God, and He draws all people to himself by the power of the
Holy Spirit.
4 In Christ, humanity is loved and accepted by the
Father.
5 Jesus Christ
paid for all our sins - past, present and future and there is no
longer any debt to pay.
6 The Father
has in Christ forgiven all our sins, and He eagerly desires that we
turn to Him.
7 We can enjoy
His love only when we believe that He loves us. We can enjoy His
forgiveness only when we believe He has forgiven us.
8 When we
respond to the Spirit by turning to God, believing the good news and
picking up our cross and following Jesus, the Spirit leads us into
the transformed life of the kingdom of God.

John 3:16-17 - For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.
