Serve Local
Good Samaritan Inn
The Mission of The Good Samaritan Inn is to create opportunities with the support of our community toward improving the lives of our economically disadvantaged neighbors through daily nourishment, life skills education, and job training programs. New Beginnings also believes in the importance of serving those in our community considered to be the “least of these.” We partner with the Inn by fixing and serving meals and other opportunities as the Inn has need.
God's Shelter Of Love
God’s Shelter of Love God's Shelter of Love offers emergency shelter to homeless families, women and children, in central Illinois that includes room and board, job skills training and resource referrals. James 1:27 “Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you.” Believing that this verse is a command and not simply a suggestion, New Beginnings partners with GSOL in both a financial basis as well as by sending volunteers and work teams.
South Shores Elementary School
South Shores School (K–6) is a neighborhood school in Decatur that we’re proud to partner with. Their staff work hard to create a safe, caring place for students to learn and grow and we’re honored to support them throughout the year. We serve South Shores by providing "Reading Buddies", teacher support, serving at school events, providing and serving the annual Thanksgiving Feast, donating Angel Tree gifts at Christmas, and meeting other needs. Our partnership is about more than projects; it’s about relationships. Together, we’re building hope, strengthening families, and showing God’s love in our community by showing that we are "FOR DECATUR"!
Decatur Outreach Ministries
We LOVE our city! We are readically for the community where God has placed us. We also love the other churches in our community and believe that we can do more together than we can apart. For that reason, we are partnered up with other likeminded churches and organizations to serve and reach our community. Together, we host events and activities like our Community VBS to meet and build relationships with our neighbors.
