"Step By Step exists to provide an opportunity for salvation, and emotional and spiritual healing through Jesus Christ to young single mothers and their children, by walking with them step by step as they learn to lead productive, purposeful lives."
- Step by Step Mission Statement
Step By Step is a ministry designed specifically to reach out to young unwed women, ages 14 to 24, who have become mothers as a result of an unplanned pregnancy. These young women have a tough job ahead of them. They are faced with raising their children alone. Most feel overwhelmed and frightened because raising children is a big job, even for two loving parents with resources. It seems even more difficult when they face eyes of disapproval and judgment at every corner. Before they have even begun, the world has labeled them "failures."
First Church has developed a relationship with Step by Step to try to provide volunteers, financial support and awareness among our community of faith. Step by Step has educated us and led us deeper into recognizing Christ through young women struggling to be faithful role models to their young children. In order to help build awareness of this powerful ministry, First Church has chosen Step by Step to present their ministry at the American Spiritual Ensemble concert on Feb. 12th through the Music for Mission series.
