We're Here To Help
Johnathan and Jeni Newman
God has given us 27 years of experience in church planting and pastoral ministry. Over that time we've seen firsthand that thriving in our personal walk with God, as well as in our marriage and family, enables us to more effectively care for the church. This is why we are engaging the next generation of leaders, so they also thrive in marriage and ministry, and their homes and churches grow stronger.
