Pastor Steve was called to Mora, MN in 2012. Through his leadership Living Hope Church (LHC) is a place where Hope Comes Alive! Miracles, signs and wonders are normal part of the LHC Culture. His heart is to see people encounter God’s love and get empowered to love others! Pastor Steve loves teaching God’s word and making it practical. His down to earth style comes through the many seasons he’s been through. He’s overcome addiction, suicide, loss, & depression. In those seasons God deepened his faith & gave him hope! He believes in being a church for all seasons of life!  He’s married to Ginger Ekholm and they have a son, Isaiah.
