Nonprofits Funded in Denton County

TO PUT CHRISTIAN VALUES INTO PRACTICE THROUGH PROGRAMS THAT BUILD HEALTHY SPIRIT, MIND, AND BODY FOR ALL.

SUPPORT FOR SERVICE MEN AND WOMEN SERVING AROUND THE WORLD AS WELL THOSE WOUNDED IN ACTION.

Established in 2019, Next Steps (NS) is the only organization in The Colony with a mission to serve residents in immediate crisis. After working for another Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) homeless services organization that discontinued services in The Colony, NS founder Pamela De Santiago decided that the often-hidden needs of its residents in crisis could not go unmet. Prior to NS, most residents seeking help during a crisis went from church to church or organization to organization; there were no ongoing, consistent, comprehensive services available within the city limits. At that time, several administrative assistants from local churches were serving as informal case managers with no experience and very limited resources. Now, NS fills this gap in services by helping residents of The Colony overcome barriers on their way to financial stability and a successful life. NS provides this help through financial and employment coaching and food and housing support.

SPIRITUAL AWAKENING AND TRAINING YOUTH LEADERS.

Ephesians 4:11-13: 11 So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, 12 to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up 13 until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining the whole measure of the fullness of Christ. Our purpose is to educate, assist and equip Christ followers in Jesus just as the scripture above instructs so that they will become more mature in their faith. We meet in small groups to fulfill this calling.
