Stephen is a seasoned pastor, spiritual director, and small group leader whose service spans 40+ years. He delights in joining others in listening to their spiritual journeys toward a deeper walk with Jesus. He is continually curious about life. He seeks solitude and exploration in rugged landscapes. A core value is that contemplative moments and play need to be alongside daily work. From his perspective, the journey of faith flourishes when embedded in the body of Christ whose primary address is the local church. Stephen enjoys road trips, hiking, acoustic instrumental and vocal music, cross cultural experiences, reading that prompts insight and reflection, drawing animals, a good story, wine with friends and keeping up with his grandchildren.
