My wife Kathy lead the Frontline Worship Band at Family Life Church in Newberg, Oregon. As a solo artist I am currently working on a Christian rock CD project entitled, "Stephen Levi Anderson."
Pastor Steve & Kathy's Biography
In 1998 Kathy Graves & her husband Greg were pastors of Cascade Christian Center in Bend, Oregon when Greg was diagnosed with cancer. Nine months later Greg passed away.
In 2001 Steve Anderson & his wife Conya were pastoring the worship ministries at Westside Church in Bend, Oregon when Conya passed away after a brief illness.
True to His faithful nature, God began a work of restoration & healing in each of their lives and in October of 2002 Steve Anderson & Kathy Graves were married. Today, they rest in the knowledge that Greg & Conya are at home with Jesus. They also recognize that together, they are called to continue to run the race of faith and to love & serve Jesus with the rest of their lives. Praise be to God who makes all things new in Christ!
Years of experience as a worship leader, teacher, and wife of a senior pastor has given Kathy a unique ministry perspective that she is anxious to share with the body of Christ. Her heartfelt desire is to see the church rise up in holiness and purity as people passionately hunger for a greater revelation of the Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. The gift of faith, as well as a passion for prayer, is clearly evident in Kathy’s life. Her love for Jesus and the church are obvious in her worship leading and teaching.
Steve is a veteran worship leader, musician, and teacher. In the 80's he formed the Diller & Anderson Band based in Portland, Oregon. He & partners Ron Diller & Blair Masters released three albums together. From 1991 until August of 2003 he served on the pastoral staff at Westside Church in Bend Oregon. His passion is to see the creative arts restored to the church and redeemed for worship.
Steve & Kathy are excited that God has turned personal tragedy into triumph in each of their lives. Together they are discovering the ministry for which He has placed them together and are full of expectation for what God is doing through them as a ministry team.
In February of 2006 Steve and Kathy accepted a call to ministry Family Life Church where they currently serve as lead worshippers and Pastor/ directors of Frontline Worship & Arts Ministries.
