Life
As a young boy, Steve walked the aisle on the last night of Vacation Bible School and received Jesus into his heart. As he likes to say, "It took." At 18 he felt called to ministry but wasn't sure what that would look like. Out of graduate school, Steve worked in Christian radio ministry for several years and started an organization partnering hundreds of churches through city-wide outreach strategies. The Million Acts of Kindness Campaign impacted countless lives and went on to receive endorsements from Pastor Rick Warren, Dr. Tony Evans, and Zig Ziglar. In the Fall of '07 he and wife Gabrielle made a career transition into their true love and calling, serving the local church; "We are passionate about seeing people get connect to God and connected in His church." Steve is on the pastoral team and oversees small groups and guest connections.
