Thanks for visiting the First Steps Ministries web site. It would be our pleasure to minister to you in a variety of ways.

Dawn and I offer ministry that focuses on real people, real issues, and the genuine needs of humanity. The topics of racism in society and the church, families in crisis, the shortage of genuine leaders, and the need to equip people to help the hurting are all major themes of First Steps Ministries.
