OCEAN SPRINGS COMMUNITY
STEPHEN & AMY DEFAZIO | OCEAN SPRINGS LEAD PASTOR
Stephen is the Lead Pastor at our NC Ocean Springs location and has lived on the Gulf Coast since 1997. In 2007, Stephen surrendered his life to Jesus, and life was never the same again. Early in his faith journey, Stephen knew he was called to carry the good news of Jesus's love, grace, and mercy to as many people as possible. While Stephen's passion begins with proclaiming the Gospel, it continues with a deep commitment to teaching the Word of God, leading others to transformative relationships with Jesus, and holistically caring for God's people.
Amy and Stephen have been married since 2010, have 4 incredible children, and spend a lot of time laughing together. Amy shares Stephen's passion for God and people. They're both incredibly thankful their family is part of such a vibrant faith community.
