Steve came to Glen Lake Church as the Lead Pastor in January of 2023. Before Glen Lake, he worked four years as the Chief Operating Officer at Gateway Mission in Holland, Michigan and before that he served over twenty years at VictoryPoint Church in Holland, the last seventeen as Lead Pastor. Additionally, Steve has served churches in Indiana and Michigan and was also in manufacturing management for an interior automotive supply company. He has been involved with numerous nonprofit and community organizations and boards and has been a part of the leadership team of 3DMovements, a worldwide disciple-making ministry.
Steve is married to his high school sweetheart and best friend MeriBeth, who just recently retired from her career in purchasing at an interior automotive supplier in Holland. They love hiking, biking, traveling, live music, working out, and almost anything that keeps them outdoors, active and adventurous. Steve and MeriBeth have two married daughters and four grandchildren with whom they are close and love to spend time together as a family.
The Rusticus’ are excited to be at Glen Lake church and continue God’s Kingdom work here. They are committed to working together to help create a culture of missional discipleship at Glen Lake Church in which ordinary people make and multiply disciples who learn to live and lead like Jesus.
