Chaplain
Steven Canfield
Steven Canfield has travelled and ministered through creative teaching and renewal environments to children, youth, college students and adults in all fifty states except Hawaii. He and his wife Christy live in Pittsfield, Massachusetts with their son Silas who is fourteen. Their oldest daughter, Grace, is twenty six and lives close by in Pittsfield as well. Their three middle children live in Pittsburgh, PA and Chicago, IL. Steven is the Senior Pastor of First Baptist Church of Pittsfield, MA where he pastors a historic, downtown church with a surprising Christian imagination for the good of the city! Steven enjoys playing and watching basketball, listening to and writing modern folk music, finding cool coffee shops anywhere possible, jotting ideas, songs and quotes in little
notebooks, and teaching the Scriptures in hopeful and humorous ways wherever he finds himself…especially Hawaii (fingers crossed).
