About Quest Ministries
Quest Ministries is passionate about and devoted to the process of lifestyle evangelism and discipleship, equipping adults to become reproducing disciples of Jesus Christ.
Our ministry focus is on adults in the marketplace.
The Logo
The vision and mission of Quest is to produce reproducing believers. Every tradition of biblical Christianity should aspire to see their ministry marked by individual believers who seek to be reproducers. The scriptures are clear that every believer is in the “business” or mission of producing disciples. If one considers himself or herself to be a biblical Christian, there should be a commitment and devotion to a life that is marked by this objective.
A reproducing believer has a minimum of four distinct characteristics. First, they Declare their faith. Second, they Display their faith. Third, they Defend the faith. Fourth, they Disciple the faith.
Boiling down the essential core of what it means to be a reproducing believer, he/she should have these distinctive marks in their life. Quest seeks to produce these traits in the lives of every believer and equip them to execute these qualities daily. When you see the Quest logo you should automatically think of these four characteristics or qualities.

He then transferred and graduated from Geneva College where he earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration.

For the next fourteen years Keith worked focusing his efforts on marketplace ministries using relational evangelism, apologetics and discipleship.
In 2012 Keith envisioned a new ministry in the Pittsburgh area that continues to focus on Relational Evangelism, Relational Discipleship, and Relational Apologetics. A group of men came together to support and form a Board of Directors. With their blessing and the support of many others, Quest Ministries was launched in June of 2012.
