About Steve Parks

 WHERE I CAME FROM: 

I am a 'boomer' born in Garden City, Michigan, and at the age of ten gave my life to Jesus Christ. Upon graduation from High School I went off to Bible College and studied for ministry. After I completed my bible training, I ministered as a Youth Pastor for 10 years. In 1988, I accepted the call to pastor a country church in Wabash, Indiana until 2005. At that time,, I assumed the pastorate of a suburban church in St. Charles, Missouri, from which I retired on August 4, 2024.

WHERE I AM: 

Occupational ministry was my calling for nearly a half-century and awarded me with several delightful and enriching life experiences. Now I am excited as I anticipate spending more time with my lovely wife, Paula, wonderful adult children, and a tribe of eleven grandchildren (who make me feel very young and very tired at the same time).

WHERE I HOPE TO GO: 

God has planted within me a 'Shepherds Heart' and is allowing me to continue to encourage people in their walk with the Savior by leading a Life Group in our new church home. I also have finished a manuscript for a fictional book set in Victorian England, which i am praying will be picked up in the near future by a publisher. In the mean time i will keep my writing skills up through a weekly blog. If you would like to receive an email reminder, just go to the home page and fill out the form you will find there to become a member of the tribe of the Lion.
