Local Church Seeing Much Different Trend Than Other Churches

What is Better? – Better Part 1 (New Beginnings Church – Pastor Drew Price)

HARRISONBURG, Va. – A recent Gallup poll suggests fewer people belong to a house of worship.

At least one church is seeing that change but another said they are seeing the exact opposite.

Pastor Drew Price of New Beginnings Church in Harrisonburg said his church continues to grow even through the pandemic. There are reasons why he thinks his church may be growing while others are not.

One of the main reasons Price said church attendance is declining is because some churches are going in the direction of culture and politics. He said his church, which has seen a growth of 250 percent since the beginning of the pandemic, stays strictly to the Bible and does not tap into what is a very polarized world right now.

I think people right now especially are very hungry for truth and there are not a lot of places where you can get the truth. The Bible is a place where you can get the truth, said Price.

Price also said the Bible is not issue-oriented but instead life-oriented and he thinks it is exciting for more people to experience that at his church.

According to the recent Gallup poll, 47 percent of Americans now say they belong to a house of worship which is down from 70 percent in the mid-1990s and 50 percent in 2019.

New Beginnings Church Holds Kids Camp To Learn More About First Responders

HARRISONBURG, Va. – New Beginnings Church in Harrisonburg gave children in the area the chance to meet local first responders and learn more about what they do for the community, including air medical crews.

Our primary role is to serve the citizens of Rockingham, Augusta County and surrounding areas and transport the sick and injured to a higher level of care, Chris Goode, a flight nurse paramedic, said.

But instead of landing on the scene of an emergency, air care crews got to land at a church camp where dozens of kids were celebrating their arrival.

They were jumping up and down, they were happy to see us, they were clapping. So, it makes you feel good about what youre doing, Goode said.

The Rockingham County Sheriffs Office, Harrisonburg Police, Rockingham County Fire and Rescue and members of the military were among some of the other first responders who stopped by the summer camp.

Its been really cool to see how they impact our community, fifth-grader Jadyn said.

Its been really awesome to see what a great job they do and how they keep our community safe, fifth-grader Brinley added.

Kids got the chance to get a closer look inside emergency vehicles and ask questions. They learned more about what each type of first responder or military member does and how they serve the community.

And while it was a positive and encouraging experience for them, interacting with kids in the community is also valuable for the first responders.
