His previous ministry service includes two years in various capacities at Evanston Bible Fellowship (Evanston, IL) and eight years on staff with Campus Crusade for Christ (Ann Arbor, MI; Evanston, IL; and overseas). Steve graduated from the University of Illinois and later earned his Master of Divinity at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. He is ordained by the Evangelical Free Church of America. In his free time he may be found learning patience and humility on the golf course, enjoying God’s creation in the mountains or painting military miniatures.

Our church called Jed as Associate Pastor in November 2010. He and his wife, Ann, and their three children came to us from Colorado Springs, Colorado, where Jed spent 13 years in banking and was an elder in an Evangelical Free Church there. Jed left banking to pursue ministry and God graciously provided the means and opportunity to attend seminary at Front Range Bible Institute where he earned a Master of Divinity degree. He enjoys running and cycling, a good conversation, and wrestling with his kids in their living room.
