Steve & Carrie Stetson
Pastors & Elders

Steve and Carrie married 25 years ago and have two grown daughters. Steve has the unique distinction of being one of the founding members of Lake Tahoe Christian Fellowship. Both have served in Eldership over the last 24 years. They have found the fulfillment of their heart's desire by encouraging God's people through teaching, preaching and counseling. They love to pray for the sick and broken hearted and move in prophetic intercession. As marketplace evangelists, they believe they are called to be "lights" and therefore work full time in the community and hope to be examples of God's love and goodness to others.
