New Connections Ministries is a non-profit charitable organization serving the community since 1993. This Christ-centered ministry was officially registered in 1998 and offers support and biblical counsel to inmates, former inmates, addicts and their families.
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!
At NCM, staff members and volunteers visit and lead Bible Studies in local prisons, as well as in penitentiaries across eastern Ontario.
