Steve Herder

Associate Pastor @Ascension Lutheran Church, School And Preschool, Thousand Oaks

thousand oaks, CA, US

Part of the pastoral team in the leadership of our church, school and foundation. Specifically, I work in the areas of senior adult ministries (in the congregation and community), prayer ministries, global missions, Gifts of Hope, mission trips, community concerns, Jubilee advocacy, Stephen Ministry, leading music with our school children, and adult education, including teaching Biblical Hebrew. Beyond our congregation I work with our ELCA (Churchwide and synod) on global mission, hunger, and green faith ministries as well as serving as secretary, and now co-chairperson, for the Jubilee USA Network. I would like to see every congregation become a Jubilee congregation, Since the late 90\'s Jubilee with global partners has seen $130 billion of odious debts cancelled for the world\'s poorest countries!
