Pastors Tracey & Maria St. Julien
Founders, New Jerusalem Ministry – New Iberia, Louisiana

For over 18 years, Pastors Tracey and Maria St. Julien have faithfully served in ministry, passionately nurturing the spiritual growth of their community. United in both purpose and love, they are proud parents of four children, grandparents to five, and devoted caregivers to their beloved godson, whom they are raising as their own.

As founders of New Jerusalem Ministry, they carry a clear and compelling mission: to encourage, equip, and empower believers to walk boldly in their faith. Their ministry is rooted in a deep love for God’s people and a passion for seeing lives transformed by the power of Jesus Christ.

Pastor Maria has a heart for mentoring women, helping them discover their true worth and identity in Christ. Her guidance and encouragement have empowered many to rise in confidence and purpose. Pastor Tracey leads two impactful ministries—Lion of Judah and Men of Valor—both dedicated to raising up God fearing men who stand strong in their calling and commitment to Christ and their families.

Together, they labor in unity, building God’s kingdom with compassion, strength, and unwavering faith. New Jerusalem Ministry is a thriving deliverance ministry with a dedicated congregation of about 150 members. The church is marked by powerful testimonies of healing, deliverance, and spiritual renewal.

Their impact reaches far beyond the church walls. Through ongoing outreach in correctional facilities, nursing homes, hospitals, and many areas across the region, Pastors Tracey and Maria are living examples of servant leadership.

Inspired by 1 Peter 4:10–11, they believe every believer is called to be a faithful steward of God's grace. Their leadership is not just about preaching the Word, but living it. They encourage others to endure life's challenges with faith, to grow daily in their walk with Christ, and to trust in God's faithfulness even in uncertain times.

They remind us that the journey of faith is not meant to be walked alone. With love, humility, and devotion, they invite all to experience the hope, healing, restoring, and delivering power of God at New Jerusalem Ministry.

“We love the people of New Jerusalem Ministry and are honored to walk this journey of faith together.”
