The Step Seven Ministries Team
Pastor Tom Roth
Founder & President
Pastor Tom is the founder and president of Step Seven Ministries. Having come from a life of addiction himself, he has a special place in his heart for those who struggle with drugs and alcohol. His passion for our mission statement of “Sharing Jesus with the Addicted” is seen in every aspect of our ministry. His firm belief in the healing power of a right relationship with Jesus Christ is the basis for everything we do. It’s in changed lives that we measure success, and "PT", as we like to call him, believes it all starts with the willingness to CONSIDER Jesus as our Higher Power. PT has faithfully dedicated his life to getting this important message to the people who need it most.
Benjamin Drake
Executive Director
Ben came to Step Seven as a condition of his release from jail with a 37 year prison sentence hanging in the balance. As a result of Step Seven he has found responsibility, accountability, and integrity but above all else he found a relationship with a Jesus he never knew.
As a Christ-centered leader, he co-creates a world of purpose by leading others to Christ. Ben is committed to maintaining the integrity of these homes and building the men in them up. Assisting in their sobriety and leading them to this new Jesus he has found.
Ecclesiastes 4:12 A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer. Three are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken.
House Leaders:
Each one of our sober-living homes has a trained House Leader who has been called to serve the other men in his home. Step Seven Ministries would not be able to do what God is asking us to do without our House Leaders. These men play a fundamental role in our operations by providing leadership and guidance to our sober-living home residents.
