The New Beginnings Program (TNBP) provides education, counselling, and other support services for newcomers to Canada, helping new Canadians to integrate into their new life in Canada. TNBP is a division under The Ark department designed to have several cross-cultural programs to support newcomers in various communities across Greater Toronto and Tri-cities areas. These include language instruction, job search, activities, translation services, and information programs on Canadian culture for their integration with Canadian society. TNBP’s mission is to provide leadership and discipleship opportunities for local churches and community-based organizations to impact New Canadians’ lives positively.
Through these programs, The New Beginnings program strives to:
Adult Program
In this program, we aim to reach adult newcomers and provide them with the tools and resources to succeed in their new journey in Canada.
English Classes: Language is among newcomers’ most challenging barriers. Therefore, the first part of the adult program is the basic conversational English classes.
Educational Sessions: These sessions are significant sources of knowledge and experience that introduce newcomers to the different systems of Canada. These include but are not limited to Canadian culture, the education system, rights and responsibilities, and financial literacy.

- Playing games.
- Learning stories.

Throughout the years, our TNBP kids’ program has been a positive experience and a safe space where kids can make friendships and develop their self-confidence and faith.
