The Bible
We believe the Bible is God’s word — living, trustworthy, and the guide for how we live and what we teach.
Our church
A family, far from home
The New Beginning Church is an Indian Christian community in Papakura, South Auckland. We exist for anyone who has ever had to start again.
“God sets the lonely in families.” Psalm 68:6
You are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of his household.Ephesians 2:19
Our leaders
Pastor Vikas & Pastor Jyoti Garg
Pastor Vikas and Pastor Jyoti Garg lead the church with a heart for sharing the Good News of Jesus — reaching the younger generation, leading people to Christ, and raising faithful disciples. Together with our leadership team, they are committed to serving God and building His Kingdom.
“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations.” Matthew 28:19
What you will find
Three languages, one family
Some of us arrived last year. Some of us were born here. Our services move between Punjabi, Hindi and English so that grandparents and grandchildren can worship in the same room without anyone being left out.
You will meet Punjabi and Kiwi families, people who have followed Christ for decades, and people who are still working out what they believe. All of them belong here.
What we believe
Plainly, this is where we stand
Jesus
We believe Jesus is the Son of God, who died and rose again, and that through him anyone can come to God.
Grace
Salvation is a gift. It is not earned, deserved, or bought — and nobody has to clean themselves up first to receive it.
Prayer
We believe God hears us. We pray together for healing, for families, for work and visas and worry — and we expect him to answer.
The church
The church is not a building or a service time. It is a family, and you belong in it from the day you walk in.
Life of the church
What we do
Sunday worship
Sundays at 4:00 PM
Our main gathering — worship, prayer, and a message from the Word. Chai and fellowship afterwards; stay as long as you like.
Prayer & healing
Midweek
A quieter space to bring what is heavy — health, family, visas, work — and pray together.
Family & youth
During Sunday service
A safe, joyful space for children and young people to grow in faith while parents worship.
New migrant support
Ongoing
Practical help settling in — advice, connections, and a community that has walked the same road.
Giving
Sow into the Kingdom of God
“God loves a cheerful giver.” 2 Corinthians 9:7
Everything here is carried by the people who call it home. If it is on your heart to sow into the work, you can sow online below. Visitors, please feel no obligation.
