Visiting New Beginnings

 Visiting any church for the very first time can be a tough experience. Well, we want to put you at ease. Your first visit to New Beginnings will be refreshing, friendly, and enjoyable for your whole family. We want you to experience inspiring music, helpful teaching and preaching, friendly people, and a place where you feel welcome and “at home”! Here are a few answers to your questions and what you might expect on your first visit.

When are your services? Sundays at 9:15 am, we begin with various Growth Groups (all ages). Our Growth Groups are a time of Bible study for all ages. Following this is our main worship service at 10:30 am. Our Sunday evening service is at 5 pm.

All our services for Sunday services are in the Multi-purpose hall at Mango Hill State School.

Wednesday evenings at 7 pm, we meet for a time of Bible study, fellowship, sharing prayer requests and praises, and then close by spending time in our prayer groups praying over the requests.

At this time, our Wednesday night prayer meeting and Bible study are taking place via Zoom.  Please contact us for an invitation link.

How do I get to New Beginnings?

We are meeting at the Mango Hill State School on Bonnet Parade in Mango Hill. Driving directions from Anzac Ave: Entry to the school is via Bonnet Parade (near Topaz Dr). From Anzac Ave turn into Kinsellas Road East. Go over the new railway bridge. At the roundabout, take the 3rd exit from the round-about into Mango Hill Boulevard. Turn first left into Bonnet Parade which leads directly into the school.

When entering the school property, you can park in the 2nd carpark in the front of the school. Once you get out of your car, you can walk to the top of the carpark and find a crosswalk into the new Multi-purpose Hall where we meet

We are also close to the Anzac Ave exit on the M1.

What can I expect on my first visit?

As you enter the school property, you will be greeted by our friendly greeters who are able to direct you and answer any questions you may have. During this service, you will enjoy beautiful and inspiring music. The music is always followed by a clear, helpful, and challenging Bible message.

Where do I take my children?

On Sunday mornings, there is something special for every child. We have a safe and clean nursery for children three years old and under, which is run by highly qualified leaders. For children three years old through to thirteen, there are fun, friendly, and Bible-centred classes. These classes are staffed with trained, friendly, and well-qualified teachers and helpers who will make church exciting and memorable for your child. Our friendly ushers are located in the main foyer and will gladly help direct you to the right place.

How should I dress?

There is not a dress code at New Beginnings Baptist Church for members or guests. Our ministry leaders and many of our church family dress in more traditional “Sunday” dress; however, our main goal is that you would feel welcome and comfortable on your visit here at New Beginnings.

Am I expected to participate in the offering?

No. We don’t invite you to New Beginnings for your offering. We want our service to be a gift for you. We hope you will find in this place a warm family spirit, truth from God’s Word, and a place where you can grow in God’s grace. Please don’t feel any obligation to participate in the offering as a guest. Currently, our offerings are received through donation boxes on the welcome table.

Do I need to pre-register to attend your services?

No. At this point, we have not reached our capacity for the building that we hire.  When you do attend, please check in by using the QLD check-in app and scanning the QR code at the welcome table. To assist with social distancing and current Covid restrictions, we ask that families who live under the same roof sit together in the service.  So, whether it is your first time attending or your first time in a long time, we have a seat saved for you!

Other questions… If there’s something we missed on this list, just give us a call, or ask someone when you arrive. Whether you’re new to the area and looking for a church home, or if it’s been a long time since you’ve attended church at all, we hope your first visit at New Beginnings will be uplifting.
