ABOUT STAND
History
Stand Ministries is a non-profit organization established in 2005. Due to the awesome amount of invitations for Stand to perform, God lead the team to start their own Stand performance group. Therefore, in 2010, Stand began training and discipling kids and teens in dances, songs and dramas as well as teaching them how to minister at Stand events.
Stand Ministries has been blessed to perform in several school districts, Christian festivals such as KLTY’s Celebrate Freedom Dallas, Celebrate Freedom Atlanta, Creationist West, T.D. Jakes Megafest, as well as churches such as The Potter’s House, Gateway Church, and Oak Cliff Bible Church. Stand has also been blessed to partner with Evangelists such as Andrew Palau and Reid Saunders ministering overseas in Uganda, Africa, Haiti, Nepal and Honduras.
God continues to expand the Vision of Stand Ministries. Stand is now creating their own original musical productions using hip-hop and pop culture to teach biblical principles. Get ready for all the awesomeness God will be doing through Stand Ministries in the near future!
