New Directions Youth Ministries will soon offer new services for those in need at its location on East Doughton Street in Sparta.

Though the ministry is facing financial woes, Pastor Pamela Caudill and staff press forward with the belief that God will provide. With that conviction in tow, the members of the staff are working to find new ways to serve the community.
