Pastor Steve Neuder
Pastor Steve Neuder grew up in Sandpoint, graduated from Pacific Lutheran University, and headed to Southern California where he worked in Theater for nearly 20 years. He eventually attained a Master of Divinity degree from San Francisco Theological Seminary / Southern California, was ordained and served as Associate Pastor at Pasadena Presbyterian Church. As he and his wife became blessed with 2 daughters, the family moved back “home”. Once back in Sandpoint, Steve followed in his father’s footsteps by “filling holes” (his dad was a dentist) – preaching in several area churches when their pastors were away. Steve became a temporary part-time Chaplain at Valley Vista Care Center while permanent staffing of the position was in progress. He went on to serve in a similar part-time capacity at Bonner Community Hospice, where he continues to this day.
In August, 2008, Steve became the part-time Associate Pastor of First Lutheran Church. His focus is on Pastoral Care as he greatly appreciates the opportunity to be with folks as they wrestle with Faith & Life.
