Founder of Faith for Life, blending 30 years of pastoral leadership with deep psychological insight.
Dr. Stephen Carter is the visionary founder of Faith for Life. With over three decades of experience as a senior pastor, Dr. Carter has dedicated his life to guiding individuals and families toward wholeness and purpose. His unique approach stems from a deep understanding of both timeless biblical truth and sound psychological principles.
He holds a Doctorate of Ministry with a specialization in Pastoral Counseling, complemented by a minor in Psychology. This distinctive combination allows him to address the spiritual, emotional, and relational needs of people navigating the complexities of modern life.
Dr. Carter witnessed firsthand the growing identity crisis in society—men struggling with purpose, women feeling torn between roles, families facing breakdown, and young people adrift. He recognized that true transformation required more than surface-level solutions; it demanded a return to God's original design integrated with an understanding of how people heal and grow.
Driven by this conviction, he founded Faith for Life to provide a clear pathway from restoration to legacy, equipping people not just to survive, but to thrive and exercise godly authority in their spheres of influence.
