Welcome to Vaughn Street. It really is the name of the long beautiful country road I grew up on. Our family farms were situated along the street outside a little town in Western New York. Vaughn Street is still very much there, but the family farmland has been parceled off, the once glorious and mammoth maple trees mostly cut down by the highway department and the barns and silos collapsed.

I left home years ago. But that time and place hold deep meaning, and so Vaughn Street seemed a fitting name for the company that exists to help others grow. I decided to do this because of a verse of scripture: “Unless The Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build”. For over twenty years, successful people were constantly asking me, sometimes insistently, for extensive assistance in furthering their ministries. After much consideration, prayer and counsel, I took the plunge and began giving a formal “yes” to some of those requests, and the company was born, as it seemed the Lord was "building the house”. And so Vaughn Street is a friendly road you can travel to further you on your journey. A place to help today’s leading Christian visionaries with the things that really matter: Eternal things.

If you have been referred to us as most are, and/or would like to inquire about our services, please contact me at holt@vaughnstreet.com. We are very unique and certainly not a perfect fit for everyone, but if you are serious about growing your ministry, we can explore options. I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,
Holt Vaughn
