New Creations Boarding School
The oldest and best known of our mission ministries, the boarding school serves youth making the often difficult transition from childhood to adulthood. Devoted to work with youth, ages 12-17, our goal is to bring these young people to a relationship with Jesus Christ and then disciple them to walk in the Spirit according to God’s Word. Visit the Christian boarding school website.
New Creations Christian School
A day school designed to provide a Christian educational environment for children and young people (K-12) from Wayne County, Indiana and Preble County, Ohio and the surrounding community.
New Creations Bible College
Our college is designed to give adults a solid Biblical foundation and training for the work God has called them to do. Taking advantage of New Creation’s special calling to work with teens in transition through its residential school program, on strength of NCBC is their unique and specialized majors in residential counseling and Christian education.
New Creations Camp Program
New Creations offers a 590-acre campus including 65 acres of lakes for families, youth, and retreat camping. We also offer our campus to those who would like to hold their church or corporate picnics here. Activities available are: horseback riding, fishing, swimming, and canoeing. Visit the camp website.
Central to the work of New Creations is ministry to youth—a ministry that began in 1969 by Pastor Timothy W. Cummings and Co-Pastor Bonnie L. Cummings when called to a ministry centered around the challenge of bringing young people into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
A strength of New Creations is the fact that its growth and direction in subsequent years has remained true to this original calling. Unlike some ministries that try to become all things to all people (and, in some cases, steer away from God’s call in the process) New Creations has kept at its core a commitment to youth ministry through its church missions of: boarding school, day school, Bible college, and camp program.
