Steve Hare’s passion is the driving force behind each and every tool he uses to reach others for God. As the Senior Pastor of a large, diverse congregation in the North East region, Steve maximizes each opportunity to get the message of Christ’s love out to a hurting world.

In 1994 Steve started a radio station 89.1 FM in Wilmington, Delaware which he grew into 20 FM radio stations and is widely known as the Reach Gospel Radio Network (www.ReachGospelRadio.com). This 24/7 music network has a unique personality of being one of the only radio networks that not only plays great hit gospel music, but literally mobilizes street outreach teams that continually go into impoverished and crime ridden areas with the message of God’s love. Day of the Cross is one of these street outreach missions founded by Pastor Steve, where Reach Gospel Radio teams take a huge wooden cross equipped with a sound system and bags of food, toys, and coats into often forgotten and underserved communities. These teams send the message of God’s love echoing through the streets into the hearts of the homeless, children and many people who are deeply hurting, inviting them to pray at the cross.

Another tool of ministry dear to Steve’s heart is Project Restoration, Inc. “A few years ago I was driving along and made a wrong turn into a neighborhood. As I looked around, the houses were boarded up and little children were playing in the street while drug deals were going down on the corner. There was such a feeling of depression. As I fought back tears, I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. That’s when I knew things had to change and I wanted to focus every tool God entrusted to me towards making a difference.” After that day, the outreach ministry, Project Restoration, began. Steve started taking teams, not just in this neighborhood, but into many others just like it – picking up children and families on busses transporting them into his suburban church campus for ministry, training and most of all showering them with God’s love. Steve continues to minister to these kids and families twelve months of every year. In 2015, the United Way of Delaware awarded Steve and Faith City Family Church the “Saving Our Sons Organization of the Year Award”

Steve has also served as the chaplain of the Philadelphia Soul Arena Football Franchise. Steve continually remains steadfast in his belief that no matter who you are, no matter where you are in life – it all begins and ends with the heart.
