Steve Hefner - Music Director

Steve Hefner was raised in Parkersburg, WV where he married his highschool sweetheart, Diane, in 1982. Both had some background in church while growing up but did not trust Christ as Savior until after their marriage. Both have been active in local churches since 1983.

In 1988, they moved to northwest Indiana where Steve studied Pastoral Theology. He has previously served as an Assistant Pastor and a Music Director. He served as Emmanuel’s Assistant Music Director until becoming Music Director in September of 2020.

His passion is fresh, conservative, Christ-honoring music and vibrant congregational singing as part of the corporate worship services. He has taught the Young Married Couple’s Class since 2012 and has a burden to help young families honor and serve our Lord.

Steve is also an experienced heavy commercial and industrial HVAC technician, Sales Representative, and assists with the computer networking at Emmanuel.

Diane serves as Church Secretary and Church Financial Secretary and assists Steve as his secretary as well.  Steve and Diane have five children and 19 grandchildren.
