The five W’s of New Beginnings Family Church... WHO started it all? Senior/Founding Pastor Rob Spina and his wife, Tanya. WHAT were they thinking? That they would start a church not to compete with the many fine churches already established in the area – but for those people who were not currently attending a church because they see church as too boring. Too intimidating. Or just not relevant to their stressed-out, hyper-speed lives. Not to mention those who weren’t in church because they felt unworthy, unloved and unlovable. WHEN did NBFC open its doors? In 1992, without much fanfare, truth be told. There were no drums. No dramas. No media presentations. Just people. Have we come a long way or what? WHERE did this church first take root? In a small store front building, of course. With about 15 people. But NBFC has called many places home. Including a community center, a Seventh day Adventist church, even a parking lot for a couple of weeks and now we are outgrowing our current facility. Can you spell G-R-O-W-T-H? WHY do we do what we do the way we do it? It’s simple: people matter to God. Even if they don’t know it yet. So we strive to meet them in their comfort zone, with messages that deal with their everyday challenges, hopes and heartbreaks. And in ways they can relate – through movies, books, music and drama. Because we believe God is present in all things, at all times. You just have to open your eyes.
