About New Beginnings Church

About Our Name:

Hello and welcome to New Beginnings Church. We believe that God is always doing something new and exciting. We can't wait to see what God will do next. We believe that God wants everyone to have new beginnings. It is the reason Jesus came, to save us and give us a new beginning for our lives. Our name says new beginnings because we believe that those new beginnings are not just limited to salvation but new beginnings with friends, relationships, finances, family, and so much more!

One may ask, why is there a plant in between the “N” and the “B” on our logo? Isaiah 53 is all about Jesus and what He would do. In Isaiah 53:2, Jesus describes Himself as a tender plant. The plant represents Jesus and what He came to do. He came to give us many things, including the following:

 Life Life - In I Corinthians, Paul compares the resurrection of the Christians to a new plant coming from a seed. Jesus wants you to have a great life, but also know that you will have life eternal that will be amazing. 
 Joy Joy - When a plant first sprouts, the farmer rejoices. God wants you to not just have life, but to have a life filled with happiness. Jesus does not want you to have to wait until heaven to experience him, but for you to experience Him on earth in an amazing way.
 Hope Hope - The farmer is also full of hope that a harvest will soon be produced. Jesus has a plan for you to make you great and to give you a great harvest! He is there to take care of you and always be there when you need Him. Sometimes a storm can come and wreck the plants. With Jesus, there is nothing that can stop the plans He has for you!
 Love Love - The plant is described as tender. Jesus' love is very tender, just like this plant. Love has to be tender. True love is giving all of yourself away to someone else, knowing that they may not return that love which could crush you. Jesus says that He loves you no matter what you have done, and that will never change. However, nothing can change the fact that He loves you. No one can stomp that love out. All you have to do is accept it and Jesus accepts you!

 

About why the plant is inside the letters:

Many people want to have a new beginning in life and then they fail. They try again and fail again. Then eventually, they stop trying and wonder if it is worth it. The reason why the symbol is this way is because, in order to have a new beginning that lasts, you must have Jesus. You must not only believe in Jesus, but have Jesus woven into your life. The plant is woven into the letters to express this concept. We need to let Jesus be woven into every aspect of our life. When we allow that to happen, we become one with Jesus in all we do. That is what will make your new beginnings and all that comes after them, successful for your entire journey.
