New Beginnings is a unique weekend especially designed to respond to the issues, concerns and needs of youth in grades 6 through 9. It was created in the Diocese of Central Florida by adults and young people to help middle school age youth grow in their love of themselves, others, and the Lord Jesus Christ. New Beginnings was introduced to the Diocese of Atlanta in 1998 with about 20 youth participants and has grown rapidly since that time. It is very common now for over 100 middle school youth to attend one weekend!
Any young person in grades 6 through 9 can attend one or more New Beginnings weekends. Participants do not have to be Episcopalian, but must be recommended through an Episcopal church and have the backing of an adult sponsor from their church who will be attending the entire weekend with the participant. It is our hope young people will return as many times as possible. Ninth graders may choose to serve on a team, provided they have already attended one weekend as a participant.
**All adult sponsors that attend the New Beginnings weekends must have been trained in Safeguarding God's Children.
