Despite the low valleys, reaching a peak only to fall down into the valley again and again, a man’s deep love for the Lord kept him focused on his goal to save lives.
New Beginnings Church, 1007 Farmington Road, Mocksville, opened its doors just over a month ago, and Pastor Brent Spry couldn’t be happier.
He says it’s just a building and what we do on the outside of the church to profess our faith of Christ’s love is even greater.
The member count may be low, but what they have to offer proves a dedication to reach out to many looking to be part of caring people while learning the simple truths of God’s word.
Sunday nights at 6:30, Kingdom Kids, 2 year olds-fifth graders, have 30 minutes of worship, then 30 minutess of learning scripture, closing with game time and snacks.
Tuesday nights at 6:30 the church has worship through singing and prayer in small groups.
Wednesdays at 6:30 is Restored Youth for 6th-12 graders.
Occasionally, Parents Night Out is offered from 6-10. The children are fed dinner and have a fun activities.
On Jan. 4, members welcome all to join in celebrating the New Year with hot chicken stew.

Eagle Heights Church purchased the property on Farmington Road 30 years ago and planned to build but never did, instead renting a building in Mocksville. Difficult circumstances arose, the church had a split and didn’t have funds to pay for what they bought so they lost the building and the land was lost because it was held as collateral.
Another church had just started called Bethany Baptist, which bought Eagle Heights land. Members contacted Brent to see if he would consider a merger. Bethany had a building fund of 100,000. The two merged, and formed New Beginnings, built on the same land Eagle Heights bought years ago.
“It’s been a journey but God brought it back,” Brent said.
