About Us

After serving in pastoral ministry for eight years, Jasper and Carolyn Bacon were given a vision for greater outreach ministry. This calling was to develop a ministry which would provide strategic ministries in the Bacon's hometown of Canton Mississippi and the surrounding communities. In His Steps Ministries (IHS) was founded in November 1994 with the mission of providing Christ-centered ministries to marginalized children, youth, and their families. God's faithfulness prevailed when IHS received its 501(c)(3) non-profit status in April 1995.

​

With the support of generous donors and the guidance of the Board of Directors, IHS purchased 15 acres and built the IHS main campus in 2007. The main campus consists of a 7,800 sq. ft. multipurpose building with an office area, classrooms, computer lab, science lab, game room, commercial kitchen with dining area, an open-air basketball pavilion, ball fields, and a teaching garden. As a result of the continued giving of supporters, IHS is currently debt free and Phase I and lI of the IHS development has been completed.

​

In April 2019, In His Steps purchased 19.5 acres that will be used for a Christian camp and training center. This property is also debt-free, IHS trusted God for His provisions in the past, and IS continues to seek support to complete Phase l development, a long awaited Christian Camp and the Training Center for Relational Health. This state-of-the-art camp will include a dining hall, lake, challenge course, walking trail, open-air games, ampitheater, cabins, and more.

Please consider partnering with In His Steps Ministries through prayer and giving to complete this phase of development.
