Pastor Steve Pearson met the Lord Jesus Christ as his Savior on May 10, 1972 in a small Methodist Church in Pendleton, South Carolina. A radical transformation followed. Over the next years Steve worked with Campus Crusade, the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, and as a youth pastor in a number of churches. Degrees were earned from Oral Roberts University and Asbury Seminary.
Steve loves sports, chess, reading, travel, history, the Atlanta Braves and the Clemson Tigers. But his real passions are seeking God, loving his wife (Sue) and sons (Josh and Adam), winning people to Christ and equipping people for service to the Lord Jesus Christ. His life verse is John 17:4 which was given to him the night he was called into vocational ministry on June 10, 1974 at 11:10 pm while a life guard at Myrtle Beach. This verse quotes some of Jesus’ last words: “I have glorified Thee on earth, and accomplished what Thou hast given Me to do.” Steve counts it a great privilege to have served as Church of the Savior’s Senior Pastor since June 27, 1993.
