My name is Steve Pedersen. I’ve been a pastor for 30 years. Seen the highs and lows of the human condition and understand why grace is so amazing.
I live in Sheboygan, Wisconsin which is on Lake Michigan between Milwaukee and Green Bay.
I grew up in Racine which is also on Lake Michigan between Milwaukee and Chicago. I’m an upper Great Lakes/Midwestern person.
After graduating from UW-Madison I was on staff with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship. Went to seminary at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in South Hamilton, Massachusetts. I was ordained in the United Church of Christ and later transferred my ordination into the Evangelical Covenant Church. I also received a Doctor of Ministry Degree from Pittsburgh Theological Seminary.
Stick around and you’ll always have something to think about, laugh about or learn more about yourself.
