Real Commitment

In 2021, amid the chaos and uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic, more than 150 young people still received one-on-one mentoring or tutoring. 

God is making an undeniable difference in this community through STEP Ministries!

         I can’t put into words how much it meant to have a mentor who was there to listen and be nonjudgmental. I don’t know where I would have ended up without STEP.

          I had gone to church as a child, but I didn’t really understand anything about what it meant to have a real relationship with God until I came to STEP…It’s hard living on my own, but I feel that I have what it takes to make it because I still have a relationship with God.
