Groundz4Living was literally borne out of a dream that Ken Becker had in January of 2006.  From that dream, Groundz4Living, a 501(c)3 non-profit charitable organization, has had a ministry presence at The Greene Town Center which is located at I-675 and Indian Ripple Road.  The Greene opened on August 24, 2006 and Groundz4Living was there on that first day!

Founders, Ken and Cathy Becker have a big heart for those working in retail management and sales.  Over the years, they have seen too many people crash and burn under the stresses of retail sales. Their goal and desire is to make a positive difference in the lives of those serving in retail.  Groundz4Living exists to “Bring a Hope and a Future to the Marketplace.”

Groundz4Living has now expanded into Florida.  The Beckers have transitioned to St. Augustine, Florida to continue their work in the Marketplace, not just in a town center setting, but throughout an entire county, St. John’s County!

The Beckers have been in full-time ministry since 1977 until August of 2006. Ken has worked as a Youth Pastor, Outreach Pastor, and Senior Pastor in Indiana, Wisconsin and Ohio. Most recently he co-pastored Christ’s Church in Bellbrook, Ohio.

Cathy has worked in retail for over 30 years. She has worked at the major malls in the Dayton area, Salem, Dayton, Fairfield Commons Malls, The Greene Town Center and most recently The Jeffersonville Outlet The Beckers have lived in Kettering, Ohio and have three grown children, one adorable grandson and two beautiful granddaughters!  They are currently in process of moving to St. Augustine, Florida.
