Steve Wilson

Steve is a passionate evangelist and leader, whose life was transformed when he stumbled into church as a 24-year old. King’s Arms has been home ever since where he has worn many hats but still gets most excited about those outside the church taking steps toward coming to know Jesus.

Steve became an elder in 2013 and serves as the church Executive Pastor and 10:30am Meeting Pastor. As co-leader of the church OLT, his varied role is responsible for the oversight of staff leading in Evangelism and Outreach, Social Action and the management of King’s House facilities; along with Finance, Governance and the Meeting Pastors across all King’s Arms locations.

He’s married to Philippa and they have three wonderful children, all of whom he’s insisting support his beloved Nottingham Forest!
