OUR PASTORS

Steve was born in West Africa to missionary parents.  At an early age he began his journey of making Jesus his Savior and Lord.  An experience, while in college, solidified his calling to ministry.  This calling has led him, with his wife, Amy, to plant a church in Kentucky, serve in West Africa in a variety of ministries, teach at a Christian college and now as pastor at Fulton Alliance Church.  Steve and Amy have 3 adult children they are very proud of.

Bible Verse: Phil. 1:9-11 - And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to test and prove what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.
