Steve’s passion for planting began in 1989 when Steve and his wife Cherri, along with their two children, answered God’s call to plant a church in Utah. During the 90’s they were privileged to see the church grow to a family of over 400 attendees that helped to plant five additional churches in Utah.

In January 2006, Steve was selected to lead Assemblies of God church planting efforts in the United States and currently serves as National Director for the Church Multiplication Network (CMN). CMN collaborates with church multipliers to effectively equip, strategically fund and innovatively network new faith communities in America. Since 2006 the Assemblies of God has invested over $4 million directly into local church plants and has planted over 1500 churches across the United States.
