Evangelist Steve Pettit is widely known as a strong Bible preacher, emphasizing revival and evangelism. He has conducted over 800 campaigns throughout the United States and has preached in 14 foreign countries. Having worked with teenagers for 30 years, he has a special burden for young people and their problems, and he spends every summer preaching in fundamental youth camps across America.
Steve is a native of Columbia, SC, and was converted to Christ at the age of nineteen while a freshman at The Citadel, the military college of SC. He surrendered to the call to preach, and upon his graduation in 1978, he enrolled at Bob Jones University in Greenville, SC, where he received a masters degree in pastoral studies in 1980. After serving as the youth pastor at First Baptist Church, Bridgeport, MI, for five years, Steve, along with his family began traveling as an evangelist. In 1997 he received honorary doctorates from Bob Jones University, Northland Baptist Bible College, and Ambassador Baptist Bible College.
In 1980, he was married to his lovely wife, Terry, and they now have four children: Rebecca (26), Rachel (24), Stephen (20), and Michael (11). They have been traveling together as a family since 1985. The meetings are geared for the entire family, and beautiful music is provided each evening by his team.
