What Clients Say About Steve

With a servant heart Steve prodded us through sermons, leadership meetings, table talk discussions, meal sharing, to embrace mission and celebrate God’s work thru Jesus, God’s work in and among us. We are grateful for Steve’s call and commitment to faithfully serve God and us in and thru this time of transition.

Steve was very helpful in guiding us and the congregation through a process of looking at our church’s past and present, examining strengths and weaknesses, clarifying goals and helping us to determine steps towards the future. His preaching style is insightful and down-to-earth, easily understood in our group with varied educational backgrounds. We appreciated his solidly Anabaptist perspective expressed in a forthright but non-dogmatic, unifying manner in a congregation with a wide range of theological leanings.

Steve helped our team to understand the importance of spiritual community within leadership. Actively working on creating spiritual community is time well spent.  This thinking became the jumping off point for working on a congregational covenant.
