Stephen Holechek

Stephen was born in San Diego, CA and raised in Hawaii and Colorado Springs as a Navigator kid. He came to Christ at a young age in a lychee tree in Hawaii, but really encountered the radical grace of Jesus after getting involved with the Navigators as a student at the University of Colorado in Colorado Springs. Joining staff through EDGE Corps in 2008 he was sent to minister at the University of California, San Diego for 15 years. He loves being a part of God’s transforming work among college students who are impacted by grace and give their lives away to others, and he’s currently serving as the Associate Regional Director in the Sunland Region.

Aside from ministry, Stephen loves spending time with my family. Our three kids Micah, Elanora, and Nolan keep our lives fun and sweet. His wife Tess and he love spending evenings around their fire pit.
