community freely accessible to every writer we welcome in.
Story Stewards is a free Christ-centered discipleship community for Christian writers.
Every day we pray, write, worship, study Scripture, and help young believers root their identity in Christ while pursuing the stories God has placed in them.
More than 500 writers are growing through this ministry, but the entire Sanctuary is run on volunteer labor and costs $400/month in platform expenses alone.
We never want to charge teens for prayer, community, or discipleship.
Your generosity keeps everything free, blesses our volunteers, fuels discipleship, and gives young writers a safe place to grow in Christ.
"All of the prayers, encouraging words, and kind comments are what makes me adore this community. It's so wonderful to see my brothers and sisters all over the world coming together to praise our King with their words."

"Being a Story Steward is more than a name. It is our identity because of Christ and what He has given us and done for us."

"That's what the enemy wants, to make us feel unworthy and isolated. But here we are, showing up together. We're not really here just to write. We're searching for hope, community, and breakthrough."

Keeping the Sanctuary free is one of the core convictions of this ministry.
But it does take real resources to run a Christ-centered space for young writers every single day.
Your generosity is what allows us to disciple, protect, and guide this community well.
Each month, we have three goals for the Sanctuary, and when we meet them, here is exactly what becomes possible.
These milestones reflect what it takes to run the Sanctuary each month. They are not individual giving requirements.
This is the amount required to keep the Sanctuary alive.
At this tier, your giving covers:
If we hit this number, the Sanctuary stays free for everyone who needs it. This is the foundation of everything we do.
After essential platform costs are covered, this tier strengthens the people and practices that care for the Sanctuary day to day.
At this level, your giving helps us:
None of Tier 2 goes toward a personal salary. It goes directly into people, protection, and the tangible work of caring for this community well.
Story Stewards is built on prayer, discipleship, and pastoral care. These rhythms shape the Sanctuary and require real preparation, presence, and spiritual energy over time.
This level of giving allows the ministry to continue at a healthy, sustainable pace. Nothing new is unlocked at this tier. Instead, it provides the stability and margin needed to faithfully support everything we already do.
At this level, your giving helps sustain:
These are commitments we have already made. Tier 3 simply gives the Sanctuary the stability to carry them well and to continue growing in depth, faithfulness, and care over time.
"I didn't realize how much I needed this until I was here. For the first time, writing feels rooted in hope, peace, and obedience to God instead of pressure. This community changed my mindset in ways I didn't know were possible."

Your generosity keeps this ministry alive — and we never want your giving to feel distant or abstract.
Here's how we say thank you, and how we show you the difference you're making:
A personal note mailed to you as a small, tangible expression of gratitude for supporting this ministry.
A quiet corner of our community where donors can pray together, share burdens, and receive behind-the-scenes updates for the heart of this ministry.
A clear, honest update sharing:
We want you to see the impact you make — not guess.
Thank you for even considering supporting this ministry.
When I started Story Stewards, I never imagined God would gather so many young writers from around the world — students, artists, dreamers, people who want to grow in Christ and finally tell the stories He placed in them.
Every day I watch strangers become family....
Every day I see people find peace where they once felt pressure....
Every day I see Jesus meet young writers right where they are.
And all of it —
...every prayer we pray,
...every devotional we write,
...every moment of discipleship that happens here —
...is only possible because people like you choose to give.
Thank you for helping us keep the Sanctuary open and free for every writer who needs it.
...I'm grateful you're here.
