Hey there! I’m Steven Bradshaw—but around here, most folks just call me Bradshaw. I have had the privilege of serving as the Pastor of Star Hope Baptist Church in Elsberry, Missouri, since July 1, 2025. My heart is to partner with parents and church leaders to help people know, love, and follow King Jesus. I want to live in awe of the Gospel and the God who gave it.
When I’m not hanging out with the Star Hope family or teaching the Bible, you’ll probably find me reading, drawing with pencils, snapping photos, listening to music, or digging in the garden. I also have an embarrassingly large pencil collection (yep… I know it’s weird, but I’m owning it).
I’m a lifelong Lakers fan and proudly root for the Texas Longhorns, Mizzou, the Dallas Cowboys, and the St. Louis Cardinals. I love bacon, tacos, raw oysters, shrimp, Tex-Mex anything, green Kool-Aid, good coffee, and loose leaf tea.
My wife Kristin and I have four incredible daughters, the best son-in-law, a beautiful grandson, and two “kinda-ok” dogs. Life is full, loud, and a lot of fun.
