Steve and Chrissie have been married over 34 years and have 4 adult children. Steve worked for 30+ years in Corporate Marketing and is now working full-time as a Christian Counsellor, as well as being a qualified Mental Health First Aider. He is passionate about intentional men’s ministry – organising regular breakfasts, curry nights and an annual weekend away, as well as being an occasional preacher. Chrissie is a nurse, currently, supporting the needs of the homeless and those struggling with the impact of addiction, a role she is passionate about as part of overall desire to show the love of Jesus to the lost, the last and the least.

Steve and Chrissie have worshipped in the same church, Coastline Vineyard, for over 24 years. They both both love prayer ministry, supporting marriages (including marriage prep) and caring for people, generally. Steve and Chrissie initiated and oversaw the Church’s first Pastoral Care Team. Since then they have recruited, trained and now oversee the church’s first Prayer Ministry Team. Steve and Chrissie have also led house groups for 18 years. Cause to Live For is a national Vineyard Churches event for around 1,000 young adults; Steve and Chrissie were part of the Prayer Ministry Team in 2017 and have led the team since then.
