Overview

Mission

One step ministries was established to create a community that fully encourages and supports children and youth. After years of working with children and youth, we have found that there are still many needs which are not being met. By creating a community of individuals that share our passion, we strive to address these areas so as to provide today's children and youth with the foundation and support that they need to lead not only productive lives but also ones of intrinsic value and worth.

What it reported doing in 2025

Nature's path academy (npa) is a child development center. The purpose of npa is to provide quality education to low income families at affordable rates.
