Our Story
Apostles Guy and Desiree Fox started New Heart in the basement of their home in 2000. Originally established as a bible study, the dedicated group of believers witnessed miracles, signs, and wonders on a weekly basis. The Holy Ghost would show up and many guests encountered the presence of God and were healed. Some spoke in new tongues, and prophetic words were released that renewed their hearts. The apostles quickly realized their purpose for the ministry: to equip and train believers to walk in their full purpose God designed for them with a love only a mother and father could give.
The word spread fast and soon the basement could no longer hold the ministry. We quickly moved to the Hockessin Community Center where we held Wednesday night bible study and Sunday morning worship services. It was a lot of work for the early laborers of the church. Hours before service, they transported speakers and sound equipment back and forth in Apostle Desiree's van, stacked chairs, and prayed before services weekly. It wasn't easy but the early volunteers believed God would provide us a new home.
In the midst of our prayers, the Lord urged us to look for a building. The apostles prayed and God led them to our current home in the Market East Plaza at 280 E. Main Street in Newark, Delaware. It truly was a miracle that only God could give. By His grace and crazy favor, the owners of the shopping center allowed us to rent the space out for the ministry! Volunteers soon got to work and we had a church with an altar built in three days! Even after a power outage that threatened to delay our launch, God kept the lights on in our sanctuary to finish the work on time. He is the light in the darkness! Later we found out the community center was closing to undergo renovations that same weekend we finished and we would have had nowhere to go.
Throughout the years, Jesus has blessed us so much. We are a family that loves, supports, and equips its members to grow and demonstrate the miraculous power of Jesus Christ.
At New Heart Ministries, we strive to push you beyond your limits. We believe that your purpose and destiny is greater than you can possibly imagine. Your best days are ahead of you.

Mission
We are a multicultural family of believers that spread the love of God, preach the Word, and equip members to build and restore communities through the power and love of Jesus Christ. "
Vision
To build a training center where the truth of God’s Word is taught, lives are restored and His Spirit is allowed to move freely.
What we believe
We deeply affirm the power and teachings of the Holy Scriptures, placing Jesus Christ at the center of our faith and service. Our beliefs encompass the sanctity of Salvation, the guiding light of the Holy Spirit, the sacraments of Baptism and Communion, the spiritual fellowship within the Church, and the profound transformation found in Deliverance.
Jesus
We believe that Jesus Christ is God incarnate, fully God and fully man, that He was conceived and born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, and sacrificed Himself to be punished in substitution for sinners. By the blood of His cross and His resurrection from the dead, He obtained for us eternal redemption, the forgiveness of sins, and life everlasting. He was raised bodily and ascended to the right hand of the Father. He will return to the earth personally and visibly to consummate His kingdom.
The Holy Spirit
We believe that the Holy Spirit regenerates and forever indwells all Christians. Either subsequently or at the same moment, Jesus Christ baptizes believers in the Holy Spirit to empower believers for ministry and witness. We also believe that signs and wonders, as well as all the gifts of the Spirit described in the New Testament, are operative today and are designed to testify to the presence of the kingdom and to empower and edify the church to fulfill its calling and mission. These gifts are subject to judging and are to confirm, and never supersede, what has been revealed in the Bible.
Salvation
We believe that salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. No ritual, work, or any other activity is required in order to be saved. This saving grace of God, through the power of the Holy Spirit, also sanctifies us by enabling us to do what is pleasing in God’s sight in order that we might be progressively conformed to the image of Christ. We believe that all the redeemed, once saved, are kept by God’s power and are thus secure in Christ forever.
Salvation is being saved or protected from harm or being saved or delivered from some dire situation. In religion, salvation is stated as the saving of the soul from sin and its consequences.

Baptism, Communion
We believe that water baptism and the Lord’s Supper are to be observed until the time of Christ’s return. They are not a means of salvation. Baptism in water is by immersion and a direct commandment of our Lord for believers only. Water baptism is a symbol of the Christian’s identification with Christ in death, burial and resurrection.
Matthew 26:26-29; 28:19; Acts 8:36-39; Romans 6:3-11; 1 Corinthians 11:23-34; Col 2:12; 1 Peter 3:21.

The Church
We believe that the church is God’s primary instrument through which He is fulfilling His redemptive purposes in the earth. To equip the saints for the work of ministry, God has given apostolic, prophetic, evangelistic, pastoral and teaching gifts to the church. We also affirm the priesthood of all believers and the importance of every Christian being joined with and actively involved in a local community of the saints.
God has called the church to preach the gospel to all nations, and especially to remember the poor and to minister to their needs through sacrificial giving and practical service.
Matthew 16:17-19; Acts 2:17-18,42; Ephesians 3:14-21; 4:11-16; 1 Timothy 2:11-15; Hebrews 10:23-25; 1 Peter 2:4-5,9-10.

Deliverance
The need for deliverance is manifested by an inability to be free from a bondage: e.g., mental (emotional), physical or spiritual normally associated with demon activity. It is God’s desire to bring deliverance to his people. Job 5:19, Psalms 91:3, II Timothy 4:13; Hebrews 2:15; II Peter 2:9.
We have been granted the authority in the name of Jesus to bring deliverance to others. (Mark 16:17, John 14:12; I Cor. 12:8-11). We must understand that our warfare is with the forces of evil (Eph. 6:12), our weapon is the word of God, our authority and power is from Jesus himself (Mark 16:17, Acts 1:8) and that the battlefield is first of all in the spiritual realms.
Eph. 6:10-18, II Cor. 10:3-5, Rom. 8:9, Gal. 5:22-23
