How did New Day start?
New Day was started in 1978 by Noah Martin and John Manges, two Church of the Brethren pastors who had a burden for troubled and at-risk youths. The first New Day office was in the basement of Noah Martin’s home, and the first counseling was conducted in a room donated by a church for that purpose. Within several months New Day outgrew its basement office. Today New Day has offices in Johnstown, Windber, Somerset and Altoona, Pennsylvania and employs a total of more than 30 people in all of its offices.
