I absolutely LOVE this church. They are a gospel centered community and stand by their mission…read morestatement. It is a welcoming place, and it is easy to get plugged in. The church makes you feel desired! The church body is diligent in encouraging one another with what the Word says rather than opinion or cultural opinion. Worship? It is mixed with contemporary Christian music and older hymns, so in other words, it's awesome! You can still hear the church over the wonderful instruments and speakers. The praise is focused on God, never feeling like a performance. The teaching? So good! It is centered on the gospel. It teaches the beauty of grace- how grace saves and sustains. The sermons are from Scripture completely. You can count on Pastor Todd saying "flip to ___ in your bibles" within the first 5 minutes of the sermon. The sermons are brilliant AND easy to follow. All the praise is given to God. Prayer? It is emphasized at New Beginnings. There are prayers throughout the services and throughout the small groups. Specifically in small groups, prayer is held as very important. Prayer requests are said aloud, and boom, someone offers to lead the group in prayer for specific prayer requests. The church also hosts nights of prayer and worship monthly. I walked in to the church as a "cultural Christian," thinking I knew who God was. God used Pastor Todd and the college ministry to teach me the gospel and show me what a real relationship with God looks like. God is truly at work at NBBC. It's the real deal!!

If not, Open Range Fellowship is the place to worship on Thursday nights. Dennis Aaron, a retired Shreveport Fireman is the pastor. The church is also called "Cowboy Church" but you don't have to wear a hat and boots and if you come straight from the field or directly from the road in your jeans and t shirt, you will be dressed appropriately. The quartet offers some of the best Southern Gospel singing since the Gaithers and Cathedrals--I am serious! No offering is begged for, but if you fell led to give, there are boxes to drop your money in as you leave. Bring a can of food early to reserve your seat while you go feed your face in the lunchroom. Youth services are on Sunday night. There is a rodeo arena out front.

We chose Heartlight Ministries after being referred by a highly regarded therapist and doing some…read moreresearch on our own. Our daughter was there for 14 months. You will not find a better place to send a troubled teen. This is not a corporate run boarding school for profit, and no one is getting rich running this ministry. They are a 501C that will never make a profit as they have kept tuition far below true cost, due to gifts & blessing of donors that have come before you and your troubled teens. The founder Mark Gregston is forever fundraising for the school to meet the needs of the faciites and to keep tuition affordable for families. This school is run by the founder & his family along with an amazing team of Christians, who have made it their passion. There may be some staff who come and go that have made some of the negative reviews, however the 14 months I along with our daughter have spent interacting with Staff & her therapist have been a true blessing for our family. We have seen a turn around that only God & his people can manifest with our daughter and our family because of Heartlight. No one knows the future however we will be forever grateful to Mark Gregston & staff that there was a ministry & facility like Hearlight with people who really cared for our daughter.

For many people this church has left lasting emotional scars. The environment was very strict and…read morepunitive --children were physically disciplined by staff and subjected to harsh "lockdown" situations where students were isolated for long periods. There were also troubling rumors and behaviors that made the place feel unsafe and manipulative. Leadership seemed more focused on control and appearances than on compassion or genuine faith. This church has since changed its name, but please research carefully before getting involved. I would strongly encourage parents to look elsewhere for a healthy, nurturing spiritual community.

No they don't tell you what you want hear, they tell you what is in the bible what God wants you to hear. No they don't flip flop in in their jeans and tank tops but I don't think they would ask you to leave if you did.
