We invite you to join us on Sunday, October 20 at 10am to hear Pastor Stephen Simpson. We are thankful and blessed to have our pastor with us for this special time of ministry and hope you will join us! There will be ministry for the whole family! Stephen Simpson never wanted to be in ministry. But at the age of 17, after leading a double life as a preacher’s kid and amateur rebel, he surrendered to God’s call on his life to be an encourager and a networker. Since 1981, he has served in publishing ministry, street and mercy ministries, youth ministry, camps, small group leadership, mission work, church planting and leadership, and speaking internationally. After receiving his Bachelors of Arts degree from Spring Hill College in 1984, he served as an Editorial Assistant for New Wine Magazine and an Audio Engineer for Integrity Communications. He also did freelance writing for other publications, including FatherGram, Mobile Monthly, and Gulf Coast Christian News. Stephen did post-graduate study at Reformed Theological Seminary and Liberty Ministry Training Institute. In 1987, he became the Editor of Christian Conquest Magazine (now One-to-One), as well as being a featured writer and interviewer. Stephen also served as an Associate Editor for The Covenant & the Kingdom Bible Study curriculum. In addition to publishing ministry, Stephen has served in leadership for churches and ministries in Costa Rica, Florida, Mississippi, Texas, and Michigan, as well as being the Senior Pastor of Covenant Church of Mobile (2004-2013). He continues to travel in ministry across North America and in other nations. Stephen lives in the Mobile, AL, area with his wife of 30 years, Susanne. They have one adult daughter.
