Confessing the Faith to Meditate on God
A native Californian, Steve Meister first believed the gospel in 1994 through the youth ministry of the local Baptist church. After serving as a leader and teacher in a church plant during his college years, Steve decided to forgo law school and studied at The Master’s Seminary (M.Div., 2007). Before beginning pastoral ministry in 2009, Steve served at Children’s Hunger Fund, where he developed and taught a curriculum to train church leaders in a biblical theology of compassion ministry.
Steve has served as a staff pastor at Immanuel Baptist Church in Sacramento since 2014. He also serves on the board of the Bible Translation Fellowship.
