The Beginning Experience (R) Vision is

A hurting people, healed, transformed and free again to love themselves, others and God.

The Beginning Experience (R) Mission is

The purpose of the Beginning Experience ministry is to facilitate the grief resolution process for people who have suffered a loss through death, divorce or separation, thereby enabling them to again love themselves, others and God.

We accomplish the purpose by offering quality, copyrighted, grief resolution programmes presented by trained peer facilitators.  These programmes are designed to move grieving people through a transformational process to a new beginning in  their lives.

We believe that through resolving the grief of a significant loss:

• Individuals participate in the death and resurrection of Christ as he lives in the world today;
• that those working through this experience can effectively walk with others for whom the experience is new and hard;
• and that the invitation to recover offers an opportunity for life transformation, and for freeing individuals to love self, others and God in new and deeper ways.
