He graduated from Trinity School for Ministry in 2018 and received his Master of Religion degree with an emphasis in Christian History and Theology.

Stephen previously worked as a manager at Beaver County Behavioral Health, helping those with intellectual disabilities find employment, safe living environments, and full participation in the community.

Stephen is happily married to Lisa Vesolich, who also loves to sing on the worship team, and is the proud father of one joyful daughter, Ella. He looks forward to furthering the work of God at Centerpoint, where he hopes to continue advancing the church’s mission of “Building God’s Kingdom by Building God’s People.”
