Ministries

The Fresh Start Ministry’s fundamental focus is to lay a foundation of understanding and teaching for the new member pertaining to Pastor Beard’s vision, our beliefs, basic Christian doctrines, ministries, and services. The predominant principle of this ministry is to support the spiritual training and growth of new members.

The mission of the Fresh Start Ministry is to first and foremost support the mission, vision, and purpose of the Northwest Church of Christ. The Fresh Start Ministry will also serve as a means to introduce new members to church leadership, provide information on various ministries and programs, identify the ways and means to access important church information, and to promote and encourage participation in church ministries.

​The vision of the Fresh Start Ministry is to equip all new members for service in and edification of the Lord’s church.

This mission and vision will be made possible by the following sessions:
