About Us
At Servants to the Least of These (STLT), we are committed to transforming lives through compassion, consistency, and Christ-centered service. Operating in the heart of Cincinnati, Ohio, our outreach efforts focus on meeting the urgent needs of the unhoused and low-income communities—offering not just relief, but hope, dignity, and paths to restoration.
Each week, our dedicated team of staff and volunteers serves hundreds of individuals through our Saturday outreach program, Gathering with the Prince of Peace, located at Prince of Peace Lutheran Church in Over-the-Rhine. This initiative provides:
- Hot, home-cooked meals served with care and dignity
- Clean clothing and essentials distributed through our Hope Closet
- On-site prayer, peer counseling, and evangelism
- Biblical teaching and discipleship
- Connection to transitional housing resources and local service providers
In addition to Saturday outreach, STLT hosts a variety of support programs aimed at holistic healing. Our peer counseling initiatives address emotional and spiritual wounds, while our street ministry teams build relationships with individuals who may not yet be ready to seek help through traditional channels. We believe that change happens through connection—and we show up consistently to offer that connection.
Impact Highlights:
- Over 10,000 meals served annually
- Hundreds of clothing and hygiene kits distributed monthly
- Dozens of individuals connected to housing opportunities and recovery programs
- Ongoing volunteer leadership development, equipping community members to serve and lead
Our model is relational, grassroots, and adaptable—designed not only to meet immediate needs but to foster long-term transformation. At STLT, we believe no one is too lost to be found, and we work every day to be a tangible reflection of God's love to the most overlooked among us.

“Overcoming homelessness takes more than a roof—it takes a community.”
For individuals trying to rebuild their lives, a consistent and compassionate support network is often the difference between temporary relief and lasting transformation. Access to housing is critical, but without relationships that offer accountability, encouragement, and opportunity, long-term stability is much harder to sustain. A support network offers more than help—it offers hope. It reminds people that they’re not alone, that they’re still seen, and that they’re still worthy of purpose and belonging.
Statement of Faith
As an outreach rooted in the gospel of Jesus Christ, STLT adheres to the following core beliefs, grounded in Scripture:
The Bible
We believe that the Bible is the inspired and infallible Word of God, the ultimate authority for all matters of faith and practice (2 Timothy 3:16-17).
God
We believe in one God, eternally existent in three persons: God the Father, God the Son (Jesus Christ), and God the Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19).
Jesus Christ
We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, fully God and fully man, who came to earth to save humanity from sin through His death, burial, and resurrection. Salvation is through faith in Jesus Christ alone (John 14:6, Romans 10:9).
Salvation
We believe that salvation is a gift from God, offered to all people through faith in Jesus Christ. It is by grace alone, not by works, that we are saved (Ephesians 2:8-9).
The Holy Spirit
We believe in the empowering presence of the Holy Spirit, who indwells believers to guide, convict, and empower them for living a life that honors God (Acts 1:8, John 14:26).
The Church
We believe that the Church is the body of Christ, called to spread the gospel, serve those in need, and make disciples of all nations (Matthew 28:18-20, 1 Corinthians 12:27).
The Great Commandment
We believe that Jesus commands us to love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength, and to love our neighbors as ourselves. This command motivates our outreach and ministry (Matthew 22:37-39).
The Great Commission
We believe that all believers are called to go and make disciples, baptizing them and teaching them to obey everything Christ has commanded (Matthew 28:19-20).
H2H
The Homelessness-to-Housing (H2H) program is a comprehensive, compassionate initiative that walks alongside individuals as they progress from homelessness to housing. STLT, with its network of partnerships, serves as a vital resource for empowering homeless individuals in Cincinnati to achieve stability and self-sufficiency.

Through partnerships with local organizations and donations from the community, we offer a dignified shopping experience where individuals can select clothing, hygiene products, and other necessities. Our goal is to restore a sense of worth and confidence to those facing difficult circumstances, reminding them that they are cherished in the eyes of Jesus Christ.

Gathering with the Prince of Peace
Every Saturday, STLT serves over 120 guests, providing them with hot meals, coffee, donuts, water, and other essential items. Among these, around 40 participate in our community Bible Study, finding new hope by putting faith in Jesus Christ.
The doors for Gathering with the Prince of Peace open at 7:30 AM. Attendees are welcomed in and invited to stay for class or to take their meal on the go. Before class we enjoy a time of uplifting music, fellowship, personal prayer encouragement, bible study reflection and heartfelt worship. The atmosphere becomes a sanctuary for those who often find themselves marginalized.
Following the Bible Study, STLT offers on-the-spot prayer ministry and peer-counseling. They also provide referral services for qualified candidates to enter treatment and housing services, further extending their support beyond immediate needs.
