Stephen is a graduate of McMaster Divinity College with his Masters of Divinity. Prior to this he completed his Bachelor of Theology from Emmanuel Bible College. Preceding coming on staff at Pioneer Park, Stephen has been involved in many different areas of ministry. He has served in youth ministry, music ministry, children’s ministry and young adult campus ministry.
A few interests Stephen has are:
Spending time with his wife: Whether it is going for a long walk by the lake or lounging together on the couch watching Netflix. Stephen’s favorite way to spend his time is to be with his wife.
Learning: The one thing that Stephen misses most about school is being in an environment of learning. His field of interest has been Christian studies, but he has branched out into reading a variety of books. His book shelves are filled with books on leadership, cooking, and even graphic novels!
Cooking: After the diagnosis of Ulcerative Colitis, Stephen began to take his health very serious. Through the difficulty of figuring out which foods agree with his system emerged a passion for cooking. He enjoys making soups, salads, smoothies and good ole meaty dinners. His signature dishes involve BBQ and Mexican cuisine.
Building God’s Kingdom: Stephen’s main passion is to build into people’s lives so they can be found by God, empowering them so they can share His goodness with others. He is usually thinking about how he can help people and tell them about Jesus.
“I want to journey alongside others and show them who God is, and what he is like. And hopefully it will catch on and they can do that too for the next person”
