For all but one year of twenty-seven in congregational ministry, Steven Misch has served as pastor in the Texas District. Growing up in Northern Minnesota, Steven did his undergraduate work at Concordia University, St. Paul, MN. After completing graduate work at Concordia Seminary, St. Louis, MO, he began his ministry on the Navajo Indian Reservation with Navajo Evangelical Lutheran Mission (NELM). In 1983, Steven was called to serve at Grace, Del Rio, Texas. After five years he accepted a call to St. Mark, Lake Jackson, Texas where he served for eight years. In 1996 Steven moved to Houston to serve as an associate pastor at St. Mark, Houston. From there he accepted a call to serve at Good Shepherd in Borger, Texas. Now serving as Mission and Ministry Facilitator of the Texas District, Steven considers it an honor to be a resource and an encourager for the pastors and the congregations of Area A as they move ahead in the mission. Steve is married to Lynn, and they have two boys, both of whom are serving as pastors in the LCMS.
