Steve was born and raised in Texas but moved to Kentucky in 1997 after marrying Daniele in January of 1996. They began attending Christ’s Chapel in September of 1999 with their two babies. After just a couple of weeks, the Holy Spirit moved on them to rededicate their lives to Him, and they immediately began serving.
For 12 years they jumped into everything from delivering pies to newcomers to leading Sunday school, being nursery director to leading small groups, moving from Connections Pastors to church922 Lead Pastors, along side Craig Moore, and spearheading the Christ’s Chapel River Campus as Site Pastors.
In 2012, they launched from Christ’s Chapel to reach the unreached people of the Middle East. Through some twists and turns, God honed this into a calling to reach the unreached in Covington, KY. After many years of pastoring in the inner city, they were led to come back home to Christ’s Chapel.
Steve has a Bachelor’s Degree in Biblical Studies.
