Rev. Steve Westbrook, Interim Minister

In January 2024, Eden UCC called Rev. Steve Westbrook to serve as Intentional Interim Pastor. Along with his wife, Kim, Steve brings excitement, energy, and a loving vision to Eden. Together, he and Kim are blessed with four adult children – Lindsay, Sean, Luke and Jake.

Steve has a B.A. degree in Religion from DePauw University in Greencastle, IN and a Master of Divinity degree from Eden Theological Seminary in St. Louis, MO. 
From serving local missions to being a new church, settled and interim pastor over the last 34 years, Steve brings a variety of gifts to Eden. One of his favorite quotes is: “The church does not have a mission in the world; God’s mission in the world has a church!”
Steve is caring, compassionate, humble, committed, creative and resourceful. He loves mission work, all sports and fishing.
