We are an volunteer based body of believers united together from different churches each with an action based sense of bringing relief to families of school aged children on The First Coast.
Nathan Dowd
Lead General
Hello, I’m Nathan the founder and CEO of The Father’s Heart and Southern Smoke BBQ. I was a Jr High teacher for 17 years in the Clay County school system. In 2017 I left to develop The Fathers Heart. Since 2009 we have delivered over a million meals on the First Coast.
Keira McCoy
General of Communication
Since connecting with this ministry as a volunteer and ministry partner in 2009, my goal has been to bridge the gap between our volunteers and administration. It is my calling and joy to build a relationship with our volunteers through encouragement and organizational content.
Ali Helms
General of Social Media
We are all called to serve, as our relationship with Christ is woven into all that we do in life. As a volunteer driver for The Father’s Heart Ministries, I receive much more than I give. Feeding families in need is a true gift. In my role as Social Media coordinator, I am able to share the needs of our community to a much broader audience, therefore receiving an abundance of resources and help.
Robert Mosher
General of BBQ
Robert has been the faithful Sous Chef since the beginning of The Q process.
