Hi, we’re glad you’re here to learn more about STEPS. You might want to start with this 2023 Annual Report. 

To see examples on how STEPS serves people, families, and the community, see the “STEPS Highlights” page and this short video: “Welcome to STEPS Ministries.” To learn about our work with disadvantaged, at risk teenagers see “STEPS Life Skills Education for Underserved Teenagers” and  “Equipping Youth to Fulfill Their Potential.” Watch this interesting video to see a proposed project for how STEPS can “Help Alabama Moms and Families.”

You can also see “Recent Newsletters” for accomplishments and sign up for the “Next Right Steps” blog.

See other STEPS “Who We Are” pages on the top menu to learn about our “Boards & Staff,” hear encouraging real-life “Testimonials” and “Stories,“ and find out what we do on “Ministry Background” and “Description.”

STEPS develops and delivers practical resources for hurting people to find help, healing, and hope, and our goals are to help people improve their lives, grow closer to God, and prevent addictions and other harmful issues.

You can learn how to live life better and find more peace, joy, and purpose. And you can do it one step at a time.

We are uniquely focused on living intentionally and effectively and preventing harmful issues before they get too serious. We take proven principles from recovery, psychology, wellness, the Bible, and personal development and teach them to people. We do that with in-person training plus content and courses delivered over the internet.

One-half of families deal with substance use or mental health issues and 90% will not get help, even though many of those problems are treatable and preventable. I know, because 3 of the 4 members of my family struggled with those issues, but we got better. Millions of other people have too, and STEPS has served thousands of them. 

Use our toolkits for Life Improvement to learn next right steps to take each day, Proactive Parenting to raise your kids to be healthy and happy, and Behavioral Health to deal with the hurts and habits we all have. These STEPS resources will bring help, healing, and hope to you and those you care about.
