Christian Pastor (Steve Andres)

The Dream Vocation Podcast with Tony Bellagamba

In this episode we speak with a good friend of mine, Pastor Steve Andres. Steve is truly living out his vocation, as he felt called to be a Christian minister in his teenage years. However, while Steve may have known his course in life from an early age, it doesn’t mean his career didn’t have twists and turns. Just like most people I interview that have found their Dream Vocation, Steve had to discover his own path. From starting out in El Salvador working with children and teenagers, to coming back home and leaving Bible college after only a few days, Steve had to find the path that was right for him. And that’s exactly what he did when he returned to leading a Junior High ministry at his home church. From there Steve earned his pastoral degree and became a leader of that Church for many years. But, as time went on Steve felt a new calling to start his own church. That church, called New City Church in Naperville, IL, just had it’s 5th anniversary and has brought many people to Jesus while also serving the surrounding areas and becoming a home for anyone in search of a community.

This is a great story for anyone interested in Christian ministry and also just a super interesting story, even if your path isn’t as a pastor. Check it out.
