Celebrating 30 Plus Years of His Faithfulness

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11

Since 1993, Lord’s Gym Ministries has served in the heart of Cincinnati and the Tri-State area, reaching men, women, and children affected by poverty, violence, crime, and addiction. We’ve created safe spaces where hope can grow — our completely renovated Price Hill Family Activity Center, the STORM Bus, sports fields, basketball courts, and bike trails — all places where dignity, care, and a brighter future are within reach.

Through these spaces, we strive to be the hands and feet of Jesus. We provide food, connect families to vital resources, and offer youth sports and educational opportunities. Through our dedicated staff and volunteers, God continues to transform lives, introducing people to His love and salvation.

Lord’s Gym began from the vision of Richard “Dick” Taylor, founder of the Foundation of Compassionate American Samaritans (FOCAS). Inspired by a mission trip to Haiti, Dick felt called to transform lives both abroad and in his own community, leading to the founding of Lord’s Gym Ministries in 1993.

For over 30 years, God has been faithful. Rooted in Ephesians 6:10, Lord’s Gym remains a place where people grow strong in the Lord. As we step into the next 30 years, we move forward with gratitude, hope, and confidence in His promises.
