Hope Is Where The Heart Is
Who We Are
The Church of New Beginnings is a non-denominational church located in Sullivan, Indiana. When you visit, you’ll find friendly people, a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, and practical, relevant teaching from the Scriptures.
We invite you to join us for worship and the Word — and stay for lunch and fellowship following the service. We believe church is not just a place you attend, but a family you belong to.
Our Mission
The Church of New Beginnings is called to be a hospital for the sick, the lost, and those struggling with addiction. We believe no one is beyond the reach of God’s grace and transforming power.
Our church was founded on the vision that we would be known as a church:
- That recognizes God reigns
- That boldly declares Jesus is Lord
- Where the Holy Spirit is free to move and work
- Where the power of the enemy is defeated through Christ
Our church is not about numbers or money. It is about people.
We want to see:
- The lost saved
- The captive delivered
- The sick healed in Jesus’ name
This is the heartbeat of The Church of New Beginnings.
Our desire is to see the Spirit of God move powerfully among us. We long to see the glory of God revealed — not just in individuals, but in our entire church family.
We believe God is building a glorious, victorious church that goes forward in faith — seeing the lost saved, those bound by sin set free, and lives transformed by the power of Jesus Christ.
Service Times
We are not a country club of Christians – we consider our church as a spiritual hospital for the sick, the lost, the broken, the forgotten. Our vision is to be a place where the broken find healing, the lost find direction, and the forgotten find belonging through the transforming love of Jesus Christ.

Our Founder - Pastor Raz DeLaGarza
Pastor Raz DeLaGarza, a native of Dallas, Texas, was the beloved founding pastor of The Church of New Beginnings. In May of 2020, after years as a successful businessman in the housing industry, he faithfully answered the call God had placed on his life and established this church in Sullivan, Indiana.
Though he built many homes throughout his career, Pastor Raz often said the House of God was the greatest house he ever built.
A devoted prayer warrior, he could often be found early in the morning on his knees in the sanctuary, worshiping and interceding. He loved God above all else and considered being a pastor his highest calling and greatest honor. His ministry was firmly rooted in one foundation: Jesus Christ and Him crucified.
Pastor Raz was known for his humility, compassion, generosity, and fatherly love for his church family. He never hesitated to pray with anyone, anywhere. His faith was steadfast, his heart was tender toward people, and his sense of humor brought joy to those around him.
He carried a deep burden for souls and a passion for revival — longing to see lives healed, restored, and transformed by the power of God. His legacy continues in the spirit of faith, prayer, and hope that defines The Church of New Beginnings today.

We remain deeply grateful for Pastor Raz’ obedience, his vision, and the firm spiritual foundation he laid — a foundation that continues to bless generations to come.
