CHILDREN’S MINISTRY
PRESCHOOL:
BIRTH - 4 YEAR OLDS
KIDS:
KINDERGARTEN - 5TH GRADE
Our desire is to make the Gospel come alive for your child! Through worship, hands-on activities, games, discussion and more, we want each child to leave each week having encountered Jesus in a real way! NB Kids is a high energy, fun place to learn and grow! At New Beginnings, we believe that parents are the primary disciple makers in the lives of their children. Because of that, our desire is to partner with parents as they disciple their children, equipping them to do the job God has called them to.
SUNDAYS | 8:00, 9:30, and 11:00 AM
Sunday mornings are tons of fun! Our time is filled with worship, games, discussion, and hands-on learning. We use curriculum from The Gospel Project. This study takes our children from Genesis to Revelation through easy-to-understand concepts and activities designed specifically for each age group learning the story of Scripture.
WEDNESDAYS | 6:30 - 8:00 PM
Wednesday Night Alive happens every week during the school year. Preschool works through the Lil’K curriculum, which teaches them how to follow Christ’s example in life, using fun and interactive video-driven content with lots of hands-on activities. Elementary-age students enjoy learning, game time, and fellowship together while diving deeper into small group Bible study. No matter their age, we would love for your child to join us!
SPECIAL NEEDS MINISTRY
Our special needs ministry, Special Blessings, was created to provide an opportunity for your loved ones to be a part of a life group on Sundays and/or Wednesdays while you are attending worship or life group, or volunteering in another ministry.
SUNDAYS | 8:00, 9:30, and 11:00 AM | WEDNESDAY | 6:30 - 8:00 PM
The goal of our Special Needs ministry is to come alongside families of those with Special Needs, and do all we can to remove barriers that keep your family from experiencing community within the Body of Christ. We have a wonderful group of trained volunteers, unique environments, & sensory friendly items to help everyone feel safe and loved. To help you feel more at ease on your first visit, please take a minute to fill out this form so that we can connect with you!
STUDENT MINISTRY
New Beginnings Student Ministry is a place where Junior High and High School students connect with God, with other students, and committed leaders who want to help them follow Jesus. We exist to help awaken and inspire students to live their lives for what matters most, the fame of Jesus!
LIFE GROUPS | SUNDAYS | 9:30 AM
Student Life Groups take place every Sunday morning at New Beginnings. Life Groups are designed for students to grow in their relationship with Christ, build community with their peers, and develop spiritual habits. Our Life Groups are arranged by gender and grade which allows your student to have the opportunity to build lasting relationships with their peers. Life Groups are led by hand-selected men and women who have committed to mentoring the next generation.
High School students meet in the Mission House located at the back of our parking lot. Junior High students meet in the Student Center. Both High School and Junior High students can expect donuts every week before Life Groups!
MDWK | WEDNESDAYS | 6:30 PM
MDWK worship is for 6th-12th grade students on Wednesday evenings. Doors open to our student spaces at 6:00 pm, so students can grab some dinner, hang out, and talk with friends. High School students meet in the Mission House and Junior High students meet in the Student Center.
We start our MDWK service at 6:30 pm with great worship, followed by a message from God’s word, and we end the night with a fun, engaging game. Every week students will receive a relevant message that will equip them to see the world through the lens of the gospel. We desire for students to grow in their faith, play crazy games, and develop lifelong friendships that impact their walk with God. MDWK is the best night of the week!
COLLEGE MINISTRY
We strive to connect college students to biblical community, equip them to make disciples, and send them to proclaim the gospel on campus, in the city, and around the world. Through church membership, on-campus Life Groups, monthly events, equipping forums, and retreats, college students grow as disciples for the glory of Jesus. College worships with the Longview congregation on Sundays. Join us!
COLLEGE LIFE GROUPS | SUNDAYS | 9:30 AM
Join us each Sunday in the Chapel for bible study, prayer, and a time to share what Christ is doing in your life.
SUNDAY LUNCH | ONCE A MONTH | 12:30PM
Once a month, we meet in the Student Building immediately after the 11 a.m. service where our adult Life Groups provide food and give our college students an opportunity to connect with each other as well as the staff and leaders of New Beginnings.
LATE NIGHT | THURSDAYS | 8PM
Every Thursday, college students and young adults across East Texas gather at the Mission House on our Longview campus for worship, relationship building, and to discuss various topics that all Christians face.
MULTIPLICATION MINISTRY
Our desire is to develop a culture in which people connect people to Jesus, by relationally investing in others where they live, work, and play.
This happens in the context of Life Groups, Restore Groups, and other smaller gatherings.
ADULT LIFE GROUPS
At New Beginnings, we want to see every person plugged in and growing.
Life group is a great place to get connected and grow in relationship with others. Our groups spend time in God’s Word through sermon-based curriculum. Each group is encouraged to study the Bible weekly, hang-out together monthly, and serve together quarterly.

COURSES
The Exchange - The Exchange is a discipleship journey to uncover the lies and deceit that are holding believers hostage in a mediocre Christian life. The Exchange provides participants the opportunity to confront these beliefs and truly be transformed by the renewing of their mind; by EXCHANGING lies for the truth. Check our calendar for the next offering of The Exchange or contact Justin Arnold at jarnold@nbbctx.org for more information.
WORSHIP ARTS MINISTRY
We believe that God desires for us to worship Him, and that He is worthy of our worship. We begin every service with a time dedicated to praising God for His goodness through song and worship.
The worship arts ministry is a collective of creative individuals, bringing their various talents together in order to facilitate worship experiences and environments throughout the week. We have serving opportunities as part of our Sunday services at 8, 9:30, and 11, as well as The Prayer, which happens each Wednesday night at 6:30.
