Steve Rathje

Steve and his amazing wife Marilyn have been a part of the Mountain Springs family since 2012. He first joined our staff team as a Pastoral Assistant in 2016 and has served as an Associate Pastor since early 2020. Before God called Steve into the ministry, he worked for many years as a Human Resources professional at various organizations in both Calgary and BC. He describes himself as an ordinary guy doing his best to stay close to Jesus so that he looks, loves, and lives more like Jesus…but he’ll be the first to admit that he still has a long way to go. Steve loves spontaneous adventures, exploring new places, the ocean, ethnic food, chocolate chip cookie dough, going for prayer walks, and perhaps most of all, making people feel welcome and loved when they come to church. He and Marilyn have three grown children - Sara, Jana & Jonah - and two cats that he’s more than willing to give you a deal on if you’re interested.
