Steadfast Ministries

Our newest ministry is a Book Club where we read with kids at the Children's Home on Mondays from 3-5.

Please let Cheryl know if you are interested in being a Book Buddy. It's a lot of fun and incredibly important for these beautiful children.

It's been a truly busy and transformational year for Steadfast Ministries.

We've doubled our Live Out Loud program offerings! At the start of 2025, we were running two groups for teen girls and one at Joshua House.

Now, we've have group for boys at the Westchase campus and another at the Children’s Home. All four programs are flourishing, and we are privileged to witness the children being changed by the love of Christ they experience through these ministries.

A brand-new endeavor is our Reading Ministry at the Children’s Home. With more than 60% of the children reading below grade level, we saw a critical need. We started with two well-attended "book clubs"—one for boys and one for girls. They are a lot of fun, and we look forward to making this a major focus in 2026.

This summer, we started a new Bible study at Tampa Bay Girls Academy (TBGA), which houses 40 youth through the Department of Juvenile Justice.

Finally, we are actively involved in the launch of the Trinity campus. Our goal is to bring the Live Out Loud program to Pasco County, where we know there is a great need for our services.

The best is yet to come for Steadfast!

The Comfort Project!

We started The Comfort Project earlier this year. Soft, cuddly stuffed animals or soft blankets are given to each child entering the foster care group home system in several locations.

This can be such a frightening time and the gift provides a bit of comfort and hope.

We can always use new stuffed animal or throws!

We are so excited that Steadfast has expanded out of our tri-county area.

In partnership with Grace Church in Ft. Myers, we now have weekly Bible Studies at Ft. Myers Youth Academy!

In addition, the girls enjoy the Beautiful Beginnings Boutique - Pop-Up on a regular basis. Every girl who is released, can go shopping and get necessities and fun stuff she needs.

Soon to come -> Live Out Loud with foster care group homes in Lee County (Ft. Myers area).

Thanks to everyone who makes this all happen. Steadfast serves 350 of the highest level at-risk kids in our communities.

God's love changes things!!!

10 Christmas Parties - 200 children in foster care group homes and Juvenile Justice programs experienced the love of Christ in three counties.

There was so much joy and gratitude. We heard that this was the best Christmas they ever had, the first presents in a long time, the best food.

Steadfast has ministered to hundreds of the most at-risk in the Tampa Bay area in 2024. A huge "THANK YOU" to everyone who has supported the ministry.

We are looking forward to a big year in 2025!
