ABOUT NEW BEGINNINGS

Our Mission

At New Beginnings our mission is “Promoting life and new beginnings for children, birth mothers and families through parenting education and adoption.”

The Organization

Our company’s legal name is New Beginnings International Children’s & Family Services, Inc. We are a licensed, stand-alone 501(c)(3), non-profit, service ministry. This ministry to birth mothers and adoptive parents depends on contributions from individuals from across the United States.

New Beginnings International Children’s & Family Services is governed by an independent Board of Directors. We are not a subsidiary or agent of any other agency, ministry or entity.

New Beginnings International Children’s & Family Services is an endorsed ministry of the Mississippi District UPCI, the United Pentecostal Church International (UPCI), and the Assemblies of the Lord Jesus Christ (ALJC). We are not an affiliate of, or financially or administratively governed by, these organizations or any other entity.
