About Us:

​
We operate soley as a ministry to help people in difficult circumstances. We have suggested fees for our services and rely on those fees along with contributions from ministry partners. We do not not take any kind of insurance, nor do we provide a diagnosis for those we work with. Our desire is to help you overcome difficult life circumstance by identifying problem areas, exploring new life patterns, creating boundaries and setting acheivable goals. We consider using scripture and prayer, along with other materials as important resources in our work with you.

New Harvest Ministries
We have experience in working with adults, teens, and children, and are comfortable working with individuals, couples, families and groups. ​We understand the concepts behind such practices as Cognitive Behavioral Theory, Motivational Interviewing, and Mindfulness. We especially appreciate being able to incorporate those concepts with a faith-based, Christ-centered approach.

We Believe
We believe that the Bible is God’s Word and is applicable to our everyday lives.
We believe that the world was created by a holy, loving, and eternal God who exists in the form of three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
We believe that we are born with a sin nature that separates us from God
We believe that Jesus Christ was born through a virgin birth, lived life on earth both fully God and fully man, and that he revealed God's kingdom through his teaching, his wisdom, and his miraculous signs.
We believe that the ultimate purpose of Jesus Christ was an atoning sacrifice for our sin through his crucifixion on the cross, and that he rose from the dead on the third day after his death.
We believe that he ascended into heaven and sent his Holy Spirit to dwell within us and empower those who believe in him.
We believe the Holy Spirit equips his believers with spiritual gifts and gives each one of us a purpose to serve his kingdom and serve our fellow man.
We believe that we live in a fallen world with an enemy that wants to "steal, kill", and destroy", leading to a condition of brokenness for each of us.
We believe that God wants to heal and transform each of us into a new creation, in order to live a healthy and blessed life, in order to serve him, love others, and promote his kingdom.
