About Us

Born again and driven by a genuine desire to see lives transformed, Steve is committed to helping as many people as possible experience the love of Jesus in tangible, everyday ways. He believes that ministry is not confined to the walls of the church but extends into hospitals, prisons, streets, and homes anywhere people are hurting and in need of hope. Through his leadership in the Chaplaincy Department, he continues to champion outreach initiatives that meet people in their brokenness and point them toward healing, restoration, and purpose. He brings his professional expertise and heart for people together in service to the community. He is a licensed clinical psychologist and a certified global coach, with a deep passion for service to humanity and outreach evangelism, reaching people where they are at their default states to share the love of God with them. Steve looks forward to the beautiful life awaiting believers in heaven, and it is this hope that fuels his dedication to helping others encounter God's love here on earth one life, one visit, and one act of compassion at a time.

My chaplaincy calling is rooted in pastoral care, spiritual nurture, and presence ministry being with people in their moment of need. Whether at a hospital bedside, during a baptism, in a morning prayer, or at a camp meeting ground, my work is to bring the healing presence of Christ to all.

At Eden Springs, my chaplaincy mandate is to nurture a praying, united, and mission-minded community. I provide spiritual guidance for new believers in baptismal classes, post-baptism discipleship, family counseling, sick visitation, and intercessory prayer leadership, including our 4 a.m. prayer altars.

I believe chaplaincy in the Adventist context is more than preaching; it is incarnational ministry  to listen, to comfort, to pray, and to point people to the Second Coming of Jesus.

I serve under the blessings of Numbers 6:24-26 and the mission of the SDA Church to prepare a people for the soon return of Christ, with Eden Springs as a center for revival, refuge, and evangelism.
