Every journey deserves a fresh start.
StepUp Ministry has been a catalyst for transformation for nearly 40 years. As our programs—and the need for them—have grown, our physical space has not kept pace. To sustain this essential work, StepUp needs a facility that reflects our growth.
This is more than a building, it’s a launchpad for change—a place where parents gain confidence, children discover possibility, and families build lasting stability.
With the help of a generous donor, every gift will be doubled through September 30th—bringing us one step closer to opening the doors. Double your impact and support Rooted & Rising today!
Your gift is doubled up to $250,000 until September 30th!

Designed to support transformation.
Every space inside StepUp's new home has been designed to support the journey of the individuals and families we serve.
Welcoming spaces for children, classrooms for life skills and workforce development, coaching rooms, and gathering spaces will create opportunities for people to learn, grow, and thrive together.
From the moment participants walk through the front door, they'll experience a place built around hope, belonging, and the belief that lasting transformation is possible.
Together, we can do even more.
The new facility will allow StepUp to serve five times as many participants as it currently serves—potentially lifting 1,000 residents out of poverty annually.
Explore Our Future Home
Every room has been thoughtfully designed to support the participant journey—from employment and life skills to children's programming and ongoing coaching.
Every gift made by September 30th will be matched by a generous donor up to $250,000—doubling your impact and bringing StepUp one step closer to opening a permanent home where individuals and families can build brighter futures.
Together, we’re creating more than a building. We’re creating a place where hope takes root, opportunity grows, and transformation happens every day.
Help us open the door.

The Strength & Stability Fund: Sustaining Tomorrow
As StepUp expands its space and services, it will also incur new ongoing costs, including utilities, maintenance, and staffing for program growth.
In order to protect this investment, a $1 million Strength & Stability Fund has been created to provide both a prudent reserve for building upkeep and a two-year bridge for operational growth.
By planning for these needs now, we will be able to help ensure that StepUp’s programs—and the building that houses them—remain strong and sustainable for many years to come.
