THE REVEREND STEVE AWBREY
INTERIM PASTOR
Pastor Steve Awbrey is grateful to return to St. Paul Lutheran Church as an Interim Pastor, helping the congregation through this important season of transition after Pastor Nate's top notch ministry. Steve previously served St. Paul in 2018 before stepping away to care for his wife, Jacque, during her illness. Although Jacque later died from cancer, Steve continues to share with warmth and faith the stories of their life together as it fits the Sunday Bible Lesson.
Steve brings more than 40 years of pastoral experience, serving congregation in Nebraska, San Diego, Irvine, Vista, and several interim setting across California. He also served on the Pacifica Synod staff, visiting 125 Lutheran churches over three years. Before ministry, Steve worked in farming while earning degrees in Agriculture (KRCC, humans relations and organizational behavior (USF), m.div (PLTS) and advanced pastoral studies (SFTS).
Steve looks forward to reconnecting with the people of St. Paul and helping prepare SPLC to welcome its next pastor and family. He is always available for coffee shop exploring on Tuesdays and Thursdays mornings and then typically in the office Tuesdays and Thursdays from noon to at least 2 p.m.
