New Beginnings Christian Church is a part of Maranatha Ministries Fellowship International

New Beginnings Christian Church is a non-denominational, Apostolic, Full-Gospel Church, which was started in December of 1997. It came about after 2 years of prayer and intercession by a small group of people, hungry for a fresh move of God's Spirit in the St. Johnsbury area. Over the two years of prayer, the Lord began to give a vision of a new work, one unlike any other in the area. This is a Church where all are welcome, and the hurting and lost can come in and experience the healing power of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to the scripture is "...the same yesterday, today, and forever".

Elders: Jeff Eddy, Rob Perkins, Al Vieira Deacons: Frank Christie, AJ Ferland Ministry leaders: Children's Church/Nursery, Stephanie Ruggles; Music Ministry, Pastor Rick Menard; Prison Ministry, Rev Steve Bennett, Rev Judy Kennedy We believe that we have fellowship by the love of Christ in the grace of God, not according to proper doctrine. (Heb. 13:9) Here is the doctrine we are exercised in believing. God is one God, manifested in three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The Bible is the inspired, eternal, and infallible Word of God. The new birth is necessary for all. Salvation is by grace through faith. Water baptism is by immersion and is for believers only as an identification with Christ's death, burial, and resurrection into new life.. The Baptism in the Holy Spirit is subsequent to salvation and is available to all who ask today. The Lord Jesus Christ is the baptizer in the Holy Spirit. This over-flowing of the Holy Spirit, manifested most often by speaking in other tongues, makes all nine gifts of the Holy Spirit available to believers today, to show the power of God, and to give Him all the glory. Sanctification is a definite, yet progressive, work of the Spirit commencing at the new birth and continuing until the consummation of salvation. Divine healing is provide for by the work of Christ, is wrought by the power of God and is for the physical, spiritual, and emotional wholeness of each person. Divine healing is manifested in the casting out of demons, Mark 16:17, and happens in our lives as we wholly give ourselves to Him and follow Him daily.. The five-fold ministry gifts of the apostle, prophet, evangelistic, pastor, and teacher are for the equipping of the saints in the Body of Christ today. The redeemed will enjoy eternal life in heaven with Jesus their Savior while the lost will spend eternity in hell in the lake of fire separated from God's presence. Christ's return for His Bride is imminent, and after tribulation, He will rule on earth during the Millenium. The Great Commission is to be fulfilled by the Church going and preaching, and making disciples of all nations. The Lord's Supper (Communion) is to be partaken of regularly, served in a spirit of love toward His Body, and shows the Lord's death until He returns.
