Our Mission

StepUp Ministry provides pathways to transformation.

Founded in 1988 by White Memorial Presbyterian Church, StepUp Ministry is a non-profit organization that helps hundreds of individuals each year in Wake County transform their lives through employment and life skills training.

  • To provide pathways for people to overcome barriers and transform their lives.

  • A safe and thriving community where people have stability, equal opportunities, and purpose.

  • We believe lives are transformed through God’s love and grace.

    We are guided by the needs of our participants.

    We are careful stewards of all relationships and resources in our care.

    We seek and value diversity, inclusiveness, equality, accountability, and collaboration.

    We joyfully celebrate efforts and success.

  • Communication: Participants will practice exchanging information, thoughts, and feelings individually or in groups through various channels, including written language, gestures, facial expressions, body language, and technology.

    Consistency: Participants will practice being reliable, constant, and steady in behavior, actions, principles, and performance over time.

    Confidence: Participants will increase their self-assurance, belief, and faith in their abilities, qualities, judgments, and decisions.

    Community Building: Participants will intentionally create and strengthen connections, relationships, and a sense of belonging among their family and community.
