Stephen Reksten took on Youth Ministry at Good Shepherd during Lent in 2008. Lent ended, but his time with the Youth Group did not. (And we're so glad!)

​By day, Stephen works for the Tennessee Department of Human Services in the Office of Procurement. (This is a fancy way of saying he shops for a living.) Most nights and weekends he is working for Dillard’s at Stones River Mall in Murfreesboro in Customer Service. He is a 1994 graduate of the University of Tennessee at Martin with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Business Administration.

When not working he enjoys travel, reading, and watching science fiction. (Doctor Who, Star Trek, and even Star Wars, if pressed.)
