Where Them Saints At?
Boots on the Ground is the JiReH initiative mobilizing the Body of Christ to step out of the pews and onto the pavement, erasing the mental health stigma in the church through Stigma-Free Support and Pastoral Counseling.
Historic First Baptist Church of Cumminsville · November 15, 2025
Boots on the Ground was born from a successful kickoff event at the Historic First Baptist Church of Cumminsville in Cincinnati, Ohio. The kickoff combined the Executive Arts Dinner, APS Temperament Profile sessions, a 30-minute counseling session, dinner, and live entertainment, with the larger movement: a clarion call to the Body of Christ.
We believe the church should be the primary sanctuary for healing. The Saints don't sit on the sidelines. They show out.
Three commitments of the movement.
- 01
Erasing the Stigma
Mental health belongs in the church. Boots on the Ground is the work of erasing the mental health stigma within the Body of Christ.
- 02
Temperament-Led Healing
Through the Arno Profile System, we help Saints discover their inborn temperament, and find behavioral harmony rooted in Psalm 139:13.
- 03
Active Engagement
Boots on the Ground means present, visible, and never on the sidelines. The Watchmen show out for the Saints.
"For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb."
Psalm 139:13

Our roots trace to the Historic First Baptist Church of Cumminsville, where the Boots on the Ground movement was born.
