Get Connected!

Let’s give Dr. Phil Greenwald, President of MACU (Mid America Christian University), and his wife, Stephanie, a warm New Beginnings Church Family Welcome!  We’re delighted to have them with us on Sunday, November 9, 2025.

During their visit, Dr. Greenwald will be sharing an exciting message, vision, and opportunities at Mid America Christian University: a place where students are equipped not only with academic excellence but also with a strong spiritual foundation to impact the world for Christ.

We invite you to open your hearts as they share what God is doing through the university, and we encourage anyone who may be considering their next steps in education or ministry to listen prayerfully and connect with them after service.

Dr. and Mrs. Greenwald, we pray that your time here is refreshing and filled with the presence of the Lord.

What is Child Dedication?
Children that are 12 years of age or younger are dedicated to the
Lord. In the Bible, child dedication is a ceremony where parents
commit to raising their child in faith and acknowledge God as a
part of their family:
• Parents’ commitment
-Must register a child either on Church App: NBCABQ or
call the church office: (505)883-9079.
-Child’s parents must attend a Child Dedication Class prior
to the ceremony.
-Parents promise to raise their child in a godly way,
according to God’s Word, and not their own. They also
commit to praying for their child, setting a good example.
• Scriptural basis for Dedicating Children
“Let the little children come to Me, and do not hinder them, for the
kingdom of God belongs to such as these” Mark 10:14 NIV.
• Child Dedication is modeled throughout the Bible:
-The Israelites brought their 8-day-old children to the priest
for blessing.
-Hannah brought her long-awaited son, Samuel, to the
priest to dedicate him to the Lord.
-Mary and Joseph brought baby Jesus to the temple for
dedication.

Baptism Dress Code

Many people opt to wear a dark colored t-shirt and shorts. Of course, it’s important to remember that you are going to be getting wet, so don’t forget to wear appropriate undergarments. You don’t want to be overly exposed and turn your baptism into an embarrassing moment.

Avoid Wearing White
That way, you won’t have to worry about anything inappropriate happening. White becomes see-through when it is wet. Darker colors are a better choice.

Bring a Change of Clothes
It may sound obvious, but don’t forget to include a change of clothes. You probably don’t want to be wet and cold for the remainder of the service, so bring something you can change into.

Don’t Forget a Towel
Just as important as the change of clothes is to bring a towel.

If your child wishes to be baptized and is in 6th – 8th grade the parents must call Pastor AJ Romero, NBYOUTH Pastor, prior to the baptism date at (505)883-9079.

• Parents’ commitment
Set up an appointment with Pastor AJ, you, and your child prior to the date of our baptismal service or you will be asked to wait until the next baptismal service the following month. This appointment is to make certain that your child is old enough to understand the significance of receiving Christ and be ready to make a public declaration of their faith and verbalize their testimony.
