Stephen’s vision for faith-based senior housing was birthed in his ability and commitment to visualize solutions to historic opportunities and his drive for excellence. Whether in athletics, or business.
Developing his financial services company, Stephen decided to become independent and acquire a Certified Financial Planner degree in 1994. He then quickly became the top producer in one of the more prominent broker dealers in the US.
Stephen then developed a faith-based financial services company that involved hedge funds and a $130 million proprietary values-based asset management platform. Beginning with a significant and seminal meeting on Wall Street in 2009, Stephen began due diligence into the emerging senior housing industry with the caveat of adding Christian faith and values. After commissioning focus groups and doing church canvassing he found that there was a tremendous attraction to his model in the Christian community.
Bolt has a habit of surrounding himself with strong partners to create powerful programs that change lives, and communities. Since he has an inclination to pursue this on a regular basis, you could say it is a penchant of his. We call it Proclivity!
Stephen resides just outside Nashville TN with his wife Nikki.
Born in Kenly, North Carolina, in 1946 to Rudolph and Ernestine Holland, Dr. Holland is the older brother of Sandra Edwards and Diane Brown. When he was thirteen, his parents moved to Lynchburg, Virginia, where Dr. Jerry Falwell was his neighbor, pastor, and mentor. On April 1, 1965, Dr. Holland attended a revival led by Lester Roloff at Thomas Road Baptist Church in Lynchburg, where he accepted Christ and was called to preach.
His ministry began in 1970 at Berean Baptist Church, where he pastored for nineteen years and led Berean Christian Academy and Berean Daycare. Following his tenure at Berean, he was called to serve three churches as senior pastor over a twenty-two-year period: in Uniontown, Pennsylvania; Napa, California; and Sanford, North Carolina.
After retiring from the pastorate, Dr. Holland started PRH Ministries in honor of his son Paul, who was unable to serve in the ministry due to a brain tumor. With a theme of “Proclaiming the Word, Reaching the Lost, and Helping the Hurting,” the vision for PRH is for Paul’s testimony to reach those who are suffering. Dr. Holland continues the work of PRH Ministries today in addition to his service at the NCLL.
Dr. Holland served on the board of directors of Baptist University of America, Tennessee Temple University, and Davis College and is one of the founders of the Virginia Assembly of Independent Baptists and the Old Dominion Association of Christian Schools. He was instrumental in landmark legislation in the state of Virginia that protects child development centers from intrusive measures by state agencies.
