The Center Approach

We believe in hearing and following the Most High God. Pastor Cedric is equipping those who want to be trained to hear on their own. Your personal relationship with God is everything. We are here to support you on that journey to your New Beginning.

The Center Approach is God”centric” in every sense of the word. We keep God at the center of everything we do.
We believe in letting The Holy Spirit lead the direction of our God service.
This looks like inviting members up for prayer, engaging with each other and setting the atmosphere to have real conversations led with love.
We Believe in Signs, Wonders & Miracles
We Listen for Understanding
We Follow God’s Word
We Build Strong Families through Community.
We Keep Transparency and Integrity at our Core.
Our mission is to follow the great commission (Matt 28:19-20). We will win souls for Christ, be led by God through prayer to build this ministry and strong families to glorify God, edify the body of Christ, serve the community through various outreach programs, equip and train leaders to be sent out, and to be good stewards over God's resources.
God, by His Spirit, has anointed New Beginning Family Worship Center to: Preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent us to heal the broken hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives And recovery of sight to the blind, To set at liberty those who are oppressed; To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.

He was then ordained as a pastor at Truth and Glory Church on June 29, 2014.
In faithfulness to God's call to advance His Kingdom; Pastor Cedric founded New Beginning Family Worship Center in September 2014. Pastor Cedric believes God had shown him the need for a new beginning, restoration, and healing in the lives of His people.

He enjoys eating, watching and playing basketball and football, and listening to various genres of music. Spending time with family, serving God, and helping others is of utmost importance to Pastor Cedric.

She attended Memphis State University and received a Bachelor of Business Administration degree in Finance and received her MBA in Health Administration from Strayer University in 2012. Lady K met her husband, Cedric Saunders, while working in various ministries at Alexandria Christian Center in Alexandria, VA.
Lady K is happily married to Pastor Cedric Saunders and is the proud mother of three beautiful daughters: Karina, Kaila, and Kamille. Lady K assisted her husband in starting New Beginning Family Worship Center (NBFWC) and is the church administrator for NBFWC. She is also the leader of the women’s ministry (Daughters of God) where she is excited to assist women to grow from caterpillars to beautiful butterflies!
New Beginning Family Worship Center was incorporated in the state of Virginia on September 15, 2014. Pastor Cedric started out by having a couple of bible studies in Lucy Hawkins’ Fitness studio in Arlington, VA; then God presented an opportunity for him to lease some church space in Bethel Worship Center at 7837 Rolling Road in Springfield, VA. This is where we are presently and on Sunday, October 19, 2014, we held our first service. There were thirty-two people in attendance and fifteen people joined the church at that service. Pastor Cedric Saunders and his family, along with a handful of others, have been commissioned by God to start this new work!
The vision that birthed our name was two-fold. First and foremost, Pastor Cedric Saunders along with the founding members heard the voice of God to build community. Secondly, we believe that everyone can have a New Beginning because of what the Most High God has made available.
