reaching the next generation

Ages 18 - 28

We’re passionate about helping college students and young adults find authentic biblical community, grow as disciples, and live on mission—whether on campus, in our city, or around the world. Through church membership, Life Groups, and bi-weekly gatherings, young adults are equipped to follow Jesus and make Him known. Don't wait to get plugged in and connected - You belong here!

HAPPENING NOW

The Gathering

Let’s be honest—East Texas isn’t exactly known for its nightlife. That’s where we come in. The Gathering is your space to connect, worship, and dive into God’s Word, all while building meaningful community. It all goes down at 7PM in the Mission House on the Thursdays listed below. Come hang out—we saved you a seat!

Life Groups

Our Young Adult Life Groups are designed for anyone 18–28 who’s looking for real community, honest conversation, and a deeper relationship with Jesus. Whether you’re in college, starting your career, or somewhere in between, this is a space to be known, grow in your faith, and live on mission together. At New Beginnings, we believe every person is valuable, every believer is called, and God’s presence is essential. That’s why our Life Groups are built on truth from God’s Word, friendships that sharpen you, and a desire to see you become all God has called you to be—right where you live, work, and play. Find your group. Build your people. Live for what matters most.

Sunday Lunch

On select Sundays, join us for a free lunch at 11AM on our Longview Campus during the normal Life Group hour in the Student Center. It’s a great opportunity to meet new people, build community, and connect with others walking through a similar season of life. At New Beginnings, we believe every person is valuable and community is essential to your walk with Jesus—so bring a friend, bring your appetite, and let’s do life together, one Sunday lunch at a time. Get plugged into a Life Group to know when the next Sunday Lunch meeting! 

Leadership Institute

The New Beginnings Leadership Institute is a year-long journey designed to equip and launch the next generation of ministry leaders. Whether you're exploring ministry through our internship or preparing for full-time vocational leadership as a resident, this experience offers hands-on ministry, intentional mentorship, and deep spiritual formation. Through one-on-one coaching, skill-building trainings, and real ministry environments, you'll grow in Christlike character, clarify your calling, and sharpen your leadership.

This isn’t just about learning ministry—it’s about living it. You’ll grow in four key areas: personal calling,
ministry philosophy, leadership development, and essential skills. Alongside trusted ministry leaders,
you'll be stretched, empowered, and prepared for lasting impact.
