STRIDE Ministries is a new military-focused Christian initiative based in Utah, established under the leadership of the Evans chapter. It seeks to live out the Gospel through a unique ethos and strategic framework, with openings for future chapters both locally and beyond, providing an opportunity for others to join in this mission.
This mission is aptly described by our name: STRIDE.
At the core of STRIDE Ministries is a passion for Scripture, specifically inspired by passages such as Psalm 119:32: “I run in the path of your commands, for you have set my heart free.” This reflects our belief that by aligning ourselves with God’s Word, we find true freedom and purpose.
Our guiding scriptures include:
2 Timothy 1:11-14: Emphasizes the importance of sound teaching and faithful endurance.
1 Thessalonians 2:4-12: A reminder to invest in others and live lives worthy of the Gospel.
Matthew 28:18-20: The Great Commission, urging us to make disciples of all nations.
Ephesians 4:11-16: The call to equip the saints for ministry and build up the body of Christ.
Our ministry is built on the belief that strategy, vision, and planning are essential to the Christian walk, as demonstrated throughout Scripture. Proverbs 16:3 reminds us to commit all we do to the Lord, while Proverbs 15:22 highlights the wisdom of seeking counsel. Success in ministry comes through prayerful planning and dependence on God.
STRIDE Ministries encourages believers to “keep in stride” with Christ, walking together in faith and service. Whether it’s through personal discipleship, community outreach, or strategic ministry efforts, we aim to stay in step with God’s will and His Kingdom purposes.
