In the summer of 1989, God spoke to Pastor J.C. Neff to move to Effingham, Illinois and begin a work for Him. God instructed him to emphasize faith and the move of the Holy Spirit. With that mandate before him, the first service of New Beginnings Church began September 10, 1989.
From that day until this, Pastor Neff and his wife, Jessie, have preached the Word of God without compromise and have contended for the outpouring of God. Their simple, down to earth teaching and sensitivity to the Holy Spirit have opened many doors for them to minister the goodness of God to their congregation as well as other stateside and overseas locations.
Pastors J.C. and Jessie Neff were born again in 1982, and the following year attended RHEMA Bible Training Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where they graduated in 1985. Rev. J.C. Neff is ordained through RHEMA Ministerial Alumni International. Rev. Jessie Neff is ordained through Mark Brazee Ministries. Pastor J.C. also serves as the Minister of Outreach for Angel Food Ministries in IL.
The Neff's welcome you to New Beginnings Church, where they will encourage you in faith and love, and help you find your place in the Body of Christ.
