Since then, with the help and support of the church leaders, directors and elders, they now lead New Beginnings Ministry into new pastures, abounding in spiritual revelations and breakthroughs!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-151 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/nbmchurch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/pastors-02.jpg\" alt=\"Adrianna &amp; P.

Pastor Russell was enjoying a successful career in the advertising world, while Mimi was a stay-at-home mom, when the Lord called both husband and wife into the ministry. Being faithful to the calling and vision, they both sought God\u2019s will for New Beginnings Church, and have led their congregation through years of growth and blessings. With a heart for missions, Pastor Russ &amp; Mimi have also aided in outreaches and have ministered to prisoners with love, truth, and Christ-centered leadership. Pastor Russell LeGassick has served as Vice-President on the executive board of directors of MCWE Canada (Morris Cerullo World Evangelism) for over 20 years.<\/p>\n<p>On June 16th,\u00a02013, Pastor Russell and Mimi LeGassick officially announced their retirement and transferred the government of NBM Church to Pastor St\u00e9phane Chauvette \u2013 passing on the mantle of Senior Pastor of the Ministry to the leader of a \u201cNew Generation\u201d. It was altogether a sunset for the old administration and a sunrise for the new \u2013 knowing that in the steady hand of Pastor Chauvette, New Beginnings Ministry would continue to be a Church focused on serving the Lord and equipping the Saints in their walk with Christ.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-149\" src=\"https:\/\/nbmchurch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/pastor-mimi-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"pastor-mimi\" width=\"188\" height=\"250\" \/>Sadly, on February 6th,\u00a02015 \u2013 just a few days short of celebrating her 82nd\u00a0birthday \u2013 Pastor Mimi was promoted to Glory after a long and fulfilled life. Her passing away has not left one heart untouched. And so, to celebrate her life, her immense contribution and the crucial part she has played in the creation and welfare of New Beginnings Ministry, it was decreed that the sanctuary of the Church shall perpetually be graced with the picture\/painting of Pastor Mimi. For all she has done in Christ, this congregation will never forget.<\/p>\n<p>To this day, now in his mid eighties, Pastor Russell LeGassick has not stopped nor slowed down. He travels the world over and he is still going strong praising the Lord, ministering to the elderly, and winning souls for Jesus!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nbmchurch.org\/en\/pastors\/board\/\">Click here to see our Directors &amp;\u00a0Elders<\/a> \u00bb[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][vc_column_text]\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][mk_revslider id=&#8221;banner-pastors&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1464313207161{margin-top: 50px !important;margin-bottom: 50px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1467164516572{margin-top: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text] &nbsp; [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;4\/6&#8243;][vc_column_text] Pastor St\u00e9phane Chauvette Pastor St\u00e9phane Chauvette serves as Senior Pastor of New Beginnings Ministry \/ Church in LaSalle, Quebec.
