ALIVE Worship Coordinator
Steven has roots in northern VA, but moved to South Carolina for college where he fell in love with his wife Heather and the Greenville area. After college, Steven and Heather made SC and North Hills their permanent home. They have attended NHC for 20 some years in which time they have added four amazing kids, three dogs, and a cat to their family.
Steve has served in some sort of worship capacity for the last 30 years, including leading worship at camps, leading teens in his home church in VA, and playing guitar and percussion on the worship team at NHC. Music has always been one of his biggest passions, inspiring him to connect with others and create meaningful experiences, all while glorifying Jesus Christ.
Steve loves Washington football, a good comedian, concerts, and spending time with friends and family. Steve is excited to join the Alive team as the Worship Coordinator where he hopes to foster a space where everyone can experience the joy and inspiration of music together as they worship the Lord and serve as a team.
Our offering
ALIVE student ministry is excited to help financially support Trailside Church in Travelers Rest, SC by giving generously every Sunday. Sean Gajda and Tim Wadsworth grew up in the same youth group as kids in Simpsonville and it’s been amazing to see their partnership grow. God is doing huge things through Trailside Church and we are excited to play a small role in it. Our goal is to raise enough money to help Trailside purchase a children’s curriculum for their KidStuff. Please pray for this new church plant, that God would continue to grow it and draw more people unto Himself.
Spiritual Habits
Spiritual Habits is what we strive to focus on in ALIVE. We hope and pray that while our students are in ALIVE for their middle and high school years, these habits are deeply rooted in them so that they continue them on into college.
