Meet Our Founder
Steven Policastro
Steven grew up in the church, learning at just four years old that God created the Earth in six days and that Jesus died for his sins. But as he grew, he began to see a painful reality: millions of sons and daughters around the world lacked access to quality Christ-centered education.
Burdened by this need, Steven spent years on the mission field, witnessing firsthand how the absence of biblical learning and resources impacts families and communities. What he saw deeply shaped him. When he returned home to Orlando in 2016, he carried a bold, God-given vision: to build sustainable, faith-filled solutions that bring Christ-centered education to the nations.
With a small, dedicated team, Steven founded the International Association for Creation (IAC), launching a movement to promote, protect, and preserve parental rights and the autonomy of Christian education.
Today, thanks to the generosity of Champions and friends like you, IAC is reaching millions of fathers, mothers, sons, and daughters across more than 100 nations, equipping them to discover truth, wonder, and confidence.
What began as one man’s calling has become a global mission — and the story is still unfolding.
