My Mission: As a school chaplain for most of my career, I have come to understand that the role of a chaplain is to provide spiritual connection for all, whatever their beliefs, whatever their doubts, whatever their religious affiliation, whatever their issues with organized religion or with God.  In these years after covid I believe that a “community chaplain” is more important than ever.  Many people have lost a connection to their local church; to one another; to God.   People are longing to regain that connection.  People are living in a desert.  I offer opportunities for people to find an oasis in the desert.

Over the past 35 years serving as a pastor, chaplain and counselor has brought opportunities to be in contact with many people seeking spiritual care and support.

My main ways to provide that care are the following:

  • Counseling and conversation: Coffee or lunch just about any day of the week is a great way to connect.
  • Office meetings for couples or individuals who would like to talk more privately.

Global Travel

10 years ago Steve introduced his first trip to the Holy Land with students from Lovett.  Since that time he has led hundreds of travelers (students and adults) to Israel and Egypt.  These trips bring the Bible to life in addition to offering opportunities to people to connect with others seeking to grow in their faith.  

We have just recently partnered with Beyond Adventures to offer a number of bucket list locations to our slate of trips for 24-25.  Take a look at the flyer and sign up now for an African safari, a pilgrimage on the Camino de Santiago, Patagonia or the Galapagos.

Back Nine Men’s Ministry

5 years ago, in response to what could be called a crisis among men in the second half of life, we started a men’s ministry called Back Nine. Back Nine is an effort to connect men with one another, encouraging intentional community.  Our motto is “walking with other men through the second half of life.”  Our desire is to see that God has a purpose for us in the second half of our lives. We have a gift we can give the world; a gift that our age, wisdom and experience affords us.

Back Nine: Opportunities for Community

  • Friday Morning Fellowship: Join over 100 men from 7 to 8 am at the Sweetwater Brewery taproom.  This is a 1 hour time of fellowship, conversation and Bible Study at a table hosted by Steve.

  • Mentoring Groups:  Put your wisdom and experience to work.  Partner with a friend and start a mentoring group with guys in their 20’s and 30’s.  You provide the wisdom; we provide the 20 and 30 year olds.  Reach out to Steve if you’re interested in hearing about how to form one of these mentoring groups

  • Intentional Community.  Make it a point to get together with someone one time a month and share a bit of life together.  Coffee and lunch are perfect for these one on ones.

Weddings & Premarital Counseling

Weddings-Banner-Rev-Steve-Allen

Performing well over a hundred weddings over my years in ministry and I also enjoy nothing more than sharing in the biggest day of your life.  There are typically 3 premarital counseling sessions before the ceremony.  The earlier you reach out, the better the chance that I will be available.

Baptisms

Baby dedications are a wonderful way to bring families together to serve God to present a new life to him.

If you are a Christian and would like to dedicate yourself by participating in the Sacrament of Baptism, this personal sacred moment in your spiritual direction is very important and personal to me as well. Contact me at:  steve@revsteveallen.com.

Funerals

During the years of ministry I have performed hundreds of funerals.  While loss typically involves grief it can also be a blessed time for a celebration of life.  If you would like to contact me about a funeral or memorial service please reach out to steve@revsteveallen.com.
