About Us

Our Mission is to provide refuge, restore lives, and rebuild community to families experiencing cycles of poverty and homelessness.

Our history

In 2015, Steve Lindner received a call from a 73-year-old woman experiencing homelessness. Unsure how to help, he turned to his wife Nanette, who was determined not to let an elderly woman go without shelter. Together, they purchased a mobile home to offer her a place to live and continued to support her however they could. As Steve continued to meet others in need of stable housing, he realized what God was calling him to do. This inspired him to found Everyone Matters Ministries.

Now, 10 years later, EMM has provided housing and mentoring services to over 100 families, including more than 300 men, women, and children

What We Do

We offer a one-year transitional housing program centered on weekly mentoring and coaching. Our approach focuses on supporting the whole person—body, mind, and spirit—while providing resources for the entire family.

Clients are encouraged to move beyond their past and present challenges, discovering their potential for a stable and thriving future. Support areas include financial education and budgeting, credit repair, counseling and therapy, relational and spiritual guidance, and employment readiness and life coaching.
