About Us
Boyd Faith, Hope, and Love Ministries was founded in 2020 with a deep-rooted commitment to faith, hope, love, and service. Our mission is simple yet profound: to support individuals and families facing life’s toughest challenges with compassion and action.
We proudly serve our community through three core programs: outreach services, prison ministry, and, as of 2025, respite services for families of children with special needs. Whether supporting families impacted by incarceration, food insecurity, housing instability, or mental health struggles, we stand as a beacon of hope and practical assistance.
Our founders were driven by the belief that faith can transform lives. From helping individuals re-enter society after prison to guiding families through special education and IEPs, or assisting with Florida homeschooling scholarships, we provide holistic care that addresses both immediate needs and long-term success.
At Boyd Faith, Hope, and Love Ministries, we believe everyone deserves the chance to thrive. We serve all people with dignity and compassion, regardless of background. Rooted in faith and fueled by love, we continue our mission to bring healing, stability, and renewed hope to the communities in Central Florida.
