Freda Steeves
Knowing without a doubt that God had placed a Call upon my life I attended Eastern Pentecostal Bible College & graduated in 1993. Following that I ministered under Pastor Byrne Crooks for a couple of years first in Timber River and then in Campbellton. Leaving there in 1995 I took on the position of senior Pastor in Nash Creek and remained there until 2000, at which time I came to Bethel Community Church in South Lochaber, where I continue to Pastor today. The Father has given me the opportunity to minister to his precious children by providing the way and with the blessing of the church to take on the position of Country Coordinator with Seeds International for St.Vincent and the Grenadines. He continues to open doors that are dear to my heart & I wait with anticipation to see what He will grow.
In my spare time one of the things that I love to do is to be outside working in my flower gardens or during times that I just need to sit and be still before Him I love to take out my guitar and worship Him.
