Who We Are
Self-destructive behavior patterns are often rooted in deceptive belief systems established through experiences of rejection, abandonment, loss or trauma. These spiritual roots manifest in unhealthy thought patterns, emotions and choices, which can give rise to codependency, life-controlling and defeating behaviors or other debilitating lifestyles. New Creations Ministries, Inc., (NCM,) serves to assist individuals in recognizing the genesis of their false beliefs and detrimental familiar attachments, and provides them the tools to heal old wounds, break free, and become new.
The founders of NCM, Craig & Courtney Sturtz, are no strangers to the struggle people face in overcoming such challenges. Both Craig and Courtney have suffered loss and trauma, and walked the road of rebellion and hopelessness. By the grace & power of God, after two decades spent in and out of programs, hospitals and institutions, both Craig and Courtney found Total Freedom from their destructive lifestyles and learned to walk in active relationship with Jesus Christ. They are no longer hopeless, no longer living just to survive, no longer walking wounded, no longer bound in fear - but are new creations in Christ, walking in abundant life and the joy of the Lord. Their only desire is to freely give what was given to them - an opportunity to make all things new. Please contact them today if you are ready to begin your journey as a new creation, or are interested in training classes for your group or fellowship.
