History of Stewart Girl Ministries

​

Stewart Girl Ministries was spiritually birthed by God in the early 2000s. The Lord called His daughter, Bernice, to be the earthen vessel through which His ministry would be shared with the world.

​

At first, Dr. Belt wrestled with doubt, unsure if she was able to carry such an assignment. She did not immediately say yes. But one late night, the Lord spoke clearly and lovingly, reminding her that all she needed to do was say “yes” and He would take care of everything else.

And she did.

​

From that moment forward, the work of the ministry began guided, instructed, anointed, and sustained by God every step of the way.

​

The Name

As Dr. Belt sought a name for the ministry, she considered several options. Yet none brought peace. Then, in a divine moment, God made it clear this was His ministry, and He would name it.

Stewart Girl Ministries was chosen to honor her parents, who raised her and her sisters in righteousness and truth. From the womb, she was raised in the church, Woodlawn Elizabeth Missionary Baptist Church, and taught not only to attend church, but to be the Church.

God declared that everything she learned would now be poured back into His people through this ministry.

​

The Beginning

After prayer, fasting, planning, and preparation, Stewart Girl Ministries officially debuted on the first Sunday in December 2016.

Episodes were pre-taped primarily at Highland Cumberland Presbyterian Church in Paducah, Kentucky, with faithful support from those who believed in the vision:

• Brother Dana Garnett – First Videographer

• Brother Randy DeHart – Technical Support

• Highland CPC leadership and membership

SGM has been produced through the Television Department of West Kentucky Community and Technical College, airing on Paducah 2 Public Access.

​

Growth & Expansion

SGM aired each Sunday from 8:00–8:30 A.M. (CST), sharing the Gospel with the community.

In 2018, God sent Mr. Alan Jackson, an experienced videographer and instructor at the Paducah School of Art and Design, to serve as Videographer and Editor, further strengthening the ministry’s reach and excellence.

Through the years, Stewart Girl Ministries has continued to grow, welcoming:

• Preachers and teachers

• Vocalists and musicians

• Dancers and artists

• Panel discussions on impactful topics

The ministry has also been blessed to record in various churches, extending its reach beyond one location.

To expand accessibility, SGM has shared content through:

• Facebook

• This website

• Community-based events, seminars, and workshops

​

The Vision Continues

Stewart Girl Ministries continues to evolve, with plans to expand seminars, workshops, conferences, and educational opportunities always led by the Spirit of God.

Dr. Belt welcomes those who love the Lord and His people to connect, participate, and support the ministry. Your ideas, gifts, and collaboration are welcome as we continue to build for the Kingdom.
