Steffen is a South Florida native and is committed to reclaiming the unfortunate “Florida man” headline. Formerly the lead youth pastor here at NCC, Steffen has committed over 10 years to various ministry roles all centered around missions imagination and spiritual formation. He is equally drawn to both the needs of the city and the contemplative offerings of the wilderness. Steffen, and his brilliant wife Celeste, are boy-parents to Theo and Jude and reside together in SE DC. When not in office, you’ll likely find Steffen somewhere going off trail, tinkering on a project, reading half a book, rambling about something geeky or trying to make friends with your dog.
