The Heart of the Mission

When Dreams Are Buried, We Help Bring Them Back to Life

“Over the years, I met countless individuals who had lost all hope. Their dreams had been shattered by life’s circumstances, and it broke my heart wide open to realize they no longer had faith in themselves to live the life God truly designed for them.

Grow Your Faith Ministries was born in 2014 from a burning desire to share the love of Christ in both word and action. Our mission is simple but urgent: to help you uncover the visions buried deep inside you, ignite your God-given talents, and walk boldly into your calling.”

— Courtney Ribeiro, Founder

Grow Your Faith Ministries’ main goal is to help people restore their dreams, goals, and visions that are buried deep inside of them; to bring them back to life and to teach them that their lives have meaning and purpose far beyond their current circumstances.

Every Friday Year-Round

Weekly Friday Ministry

God has abundantly blessed our work so that every Friday is set aside exclusively to minister to those in need—offering spiritual encouragement, life-purpose coaching, and direct community care.

WITH THE HELP AND SUPPORT OF CLIENTS LIKE YOU

Powered by Faith. Fueled by Clients & Partners Like You.

Grow Your Faith Ministries thrives because of a unique stewardship model. A portion of time, resources, and revenue from our corporate partners—including MWC Digital Agency and our executive coaching clients—directly underwrites our Friday ministry and winter children’s drives. When you partner with us, you put hot meals on tables and warm coats on children’s shoulders.

  • Zero Overhead Leakage: Corporate underwriting covers administrative costs so 100% of donor sponsorships go directly to families.
  • 24 Days Until Thanksgiving 2026: Our Nov 26 – Jan 4 winter coat and meal drive is actively equipping children across Connecticut.
