Our History
We have a storied history spanning over two decades. What began in a rented house in Benton has grown into an independent organization, yet we have always maintained the same vision—changing hearts and saving precious preborn lives.
- 2003. The missions team of the Central Baptist Association started New Beginnings.
- 2006. New Beginnings purchased the current Resource Center building.
- 2016. We purchased an ultrasound machine, and volunteer nurses and ultrasound technologists started offering free pregnancy tests and ultrasounds.
- 2022. It was clear that the organization needed to become independent.
- January 1, 2023. New Beginnings established a Board of Directors, created organizational documents, and received its IRS designation as a 501(c)(3) organization.
Our board comprises individuals from throughout Saline County who attend various churches. Churches, individuals, local businesses, community grants.
Our Services
All of our services are free to young families.
Pregnancy Services:
- Lab-quality urine pregnancy testing.
- Limited obstetrical ultrasound (abdominal and transvaginal for women 6-20 weeks pregnant).

Other Opportunities:

- Biblical guidance through regular Bible studies is available for both women and men.
- Women receive referrals to adoption agencies if that is the plan they are seeking.
- We offer post-abortion healing services, such as one-on-one Bible studies.

We do not offer or refer for abortions.
