Chris Stevens, executive director, is passionate about outdoor ministry and active local Lutheran Church, Ebenezer. As a native of Pittsburgh, he came from Central Florida to Marion in 2012 with his wife of 36 years, Leslie. He has worked in servant-based ministry, taking mission trips as far as Latvia, as well as five trips rebuilding communities affected by storms in Florida and Georgia.
