About KNOWN.

Founded on one conviction: nobody should walk it alone

KNOWN. exists because too many families carry heavy seasons quietly — unsure who to call, and certain they'd be judged if they did.

Pastor Matthew Harder

Founder & Pastoral Care Lead

Matthew has spent his ministry with young people and the parents who love them — in living rooms, hospital hallways, school car parks and late-night phone calls. KNOWN. is that same presence, made easy to reach.

What we believe

The convictions underneath the work

You are already known

Before anyone tells their story here, God has already heard it. Care begins from being known, not from earning it.

Scripture is a place to stand

The Bible is not a weapon or a slogan. It's steady ground for people whose ground has moved.

Families heal together

One person rarely struggles alone, and one person rarely recovers alone.

Honesty over comfort

We will tell you the truth kindly, including when we're not the right help.

Dignity for young people

Children and teenagers are treated as whole people, not problems to be managed.

Access matters

Clear pricing, quick availability, and reduced-cost care for families in need.

Scope of care

What pastoral care is — and is not

Being clear about this protects your family. We'd rather you have the right help than only our help.

What pastoral care is. KNOWN. offers biblical pastoral care. It is not psychotherapy, medical treatment, or licensed counseling, and it does not diagnose. Pastoral care can work alongside licensed counselors, physicians, schools, and other professionals when additional support is appropriate.
