During the fall of 1997 a Prophetic Word was spoken over our Pastors that they would start and Pastor a Unique Fellowship, that would reach all nations. As the years past they kept the vision alive and prepared themselves for the work our Lord had instore. Soon after the Lord gave them the name of our fellowship "NEW FOUNDATION." Pastor Thomas Whitehead, or as we know him, Pastor Jabowa, brings a wealth of expereince in the field of ministry. He began playing piano for worship service at the age of 11. He began teaching "Childrens Church" at the age of 13. Later Pastor Jabowa recieved his Mission Workers license at the age of 16 and began speaking for various churches during this time.

Vision The Lord is brining to pass the vision that He has given our pastors; to start "A Radically Inclusive Interdenominational Church, for ALL." The term interdemoninational was a major part of God's plan for this body of believers. Our Pastors proclaim "The dividing lines are now broken and God's people are coming together to proclaim that Jesus is LORD! We have laid aside the demoninational doctorines which have long divided God's people and have chosen the Bible as our source of guidance. We believe there are truths in many Christian demoninations, however, truth is continually being revealed through the Holy Spirit and can not be contained in one denomination nor one period of time." NEW FOUNDATION CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP is a result of our obedience to God's plan. Our pastor delivers a message of hope for ALL and states that "no matter who you are, or where you come from, or where you are on life's jorney, you are welcome here!" |
