Stevan Paul Sheets

My personal mission is to obey the Lord by using the passion and calling He has placed on my heart to urge people into right-relationship with Jesus Christ. I envision doing this by investing in people and building relationships as well as presenting the timeless Gospel in fresh and relevant ways. I have a passion and desire to see God exalted with His church representing Him with excellence and integrity.

I was born in July, 1979 to Rev. Paul and Sally Sheets in Easton, MD and grew up as a Wesleyan Pastor’s kid in Georgia, New York, and South Carolina. I responded to God’s call for vocational ministry in 1994 at the Wesleyan Youth Convention. In June, 2004, I married my best friend, Jessica Marie Garrett. In April 2006 we were blessed with the birth of our daughter, Ella Marie and in May 2009 the Lord blessed us again with the birth of our son, Ezra Paul.
