OUR PASTORS

In May of 2021, Brad’s wife, Dianne, went home to be with the Lord after fighting a battle with cancer.   God worked through difficult experience to bring a Grief Share Ministry to New Beginnings.  This ministry continues to serve as an outreach to those experiencing loss of a loved one.
