The Bible is true. God’s presence is essential. We will gather with our eyes up, knees down, and Bibles open, seeking the manifest presence of God and boldly proclaiming the truth of His Word.

The Prayer is the DNA of New Beginnings because we are a House of Prayer first, committed to seeking God before we do anything else. Through dynamic worship and bold prayer, we gather to seek the manifest presence of God and ask Him to move in our lives, our church, and our community.

Every person is valuable. We will double down on helping people move from attending to belonging. We are believing for 550 new members next year as people take their next steps through baptism, membership, groups, serving, generosity, and mission.

We don’t want shallow disciples. We will strengthen Life Groups and expand Restore Groups, theology training, biblical counseling training, and other opportunities that help people know God’s Word, live in accountability, and grow deeper in their walk with Jesus.

People matter beyond Sunday. We will strengthen biblical counseling, Soul Care, pastoral care, and shepherding so people are known, loved, cared for, and continually pointed toward the ever-restoring life of Jesus.

Every believer is called. We will identify, train, and release more volunteers, group leaders, ministry leaders, interns, residents, pastors, and disciple-makers. We want people equipped to serve inside the Church and live sent out where they live, work, and play.

We want to be ready for our next yes. We will steward wisely, strategically reduce debt, and strengthen our financial position so more of today’s generosity can fund tomorrow’s ministry.

At New Beginnings, we start the journey of surrender in one of the hardest places to loosen our grip: our finances. Jesus talked about money and possessions more than heaven and hell combined because He knew how easily it could compete for our hearts and become something we trust instead of Him. Over this past year, we’ve watched people experience incredible freedom and life change through biblical obedience and generosity.

If you’re new to Seek1, we want you to experience that same freedom. Seek Him first. Loosen your grip. Trust Him with your first and best. And consider making a 12-month generosity commitment as we finish the Seek1 journey together.

Maybe one year ago you prayed, listened, and made a commitment to Seek1. Keep going.

For some, the sacrifice has been greater than expected. Circumstances may have changed. Finances may look different. What once felt possible may now require even greater faith. We want to encourage you to trust in His provision and His faithfulness. Unless He is leading you differently, finish strong in the commitment you made. Obedience isn’t always easy, but Jesus is always worthy.

Maybe something has changed since you made your commitment...God has increased your resources, your faith, or perhaps He’s simply pressing on your heart that there is another step of surrender to take. Generosity isn’t a one-time decision. It’s discipleship. Seek Him again.
 
Is Jesus still the one thing that drives everything? Is your generosity still requiring faith? Is God inviting you to loosen your grip and trust Him more? Don’t increase because we’re asking. Increase only if He is asking. And if He is…say yes.
 
Seek first. Surrender fully. Obey faithfully. Trust God with everything that follows.
