About Us
​Welcome to New Beginnings Church. We hope you enjoy looking around our website. Barry and Karen believed God called them to plant New Beginnings Church in 2018. They have been obedient to that call.
​
Barry was ordained by the Assemblies of God in Australia in 1988. He has been an itinerant evangelist and healer in various churches and tent meetings in the United Kingdom, Ireland, USA, Canada.
​
Karen is a trained renal specialist dietician and has been a praise and worship leader since 2009. She also has a background in supporting teachers as well as drug and alcohol counselling and working with youth offenders.
Alongside Barry, Karen preaches and teaches the Word of God and ministers in the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
They have been in ministry for many years and have travelled around the world preaching the gospel and seeing people come to have a personal relationship with Jesus. Many people have been healed, delivered and set free from many bondages.
They are passionate about seeing people fulfil the plans and purposes that God has for them. They both bring messages that God puts on their heart. They teach and the Spirit brings revelation of God's word that touches people powerfully.
Barry and Karen desire to see more signs, wonders and miracles. They believe God is awakening the believers for these end times have begun, and are praying God's children are expecting the Lord's return.
They preach and teach the fullness of God's Word equipping and empowering every believer with a deeper understanding of its truth. They have known the power of God's word in prayer, enabling them to overcome many painful circumstances. Many times, they have seen God move and witnessed the outpouring of His love upon many sick and hurting people.
​
Barry and Karen are always open to serving those in need through prayer, counselling or practical help.
Together they preach the word of God under the anointing of the Holy Spirit, and are privileged to see His love and mercy in transforming lives.
What we Believe:
We believe in one God, in three persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, is the only begotten Son of God.
We believe he was conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary.
We believe Jesus was crucified, died and was buried; was resurrected by the power of God.
We believe He ascended into heaven and is now seated at the right hand of God the Father.
