Biography of Bishop Steve Warren – Ministry

"God called Steve to walk in the ministry"

As a small boy in the hills of southwest Virginia, Rev. Steve Warren began to establish his roots in the ministry. At the age of five he began playing drums and singing with his family. As a young man at the age of thirteen, God called Steve to walk in the ministry in which he had been ordained for. Albeit the work of God was not new to him, it was not until the age of sixteen that God placed upon him the anointing in which he walks in today

"God placed in Brother Steve a pastor’s heart"

From a storefront building to an old funeral home, he began the road of a pastor. God placed in Brother Steve a pastor’s heart, for he has been a pastor for thirty-six years, from the mountains of West Virginia, Virginia, and now Tennessee. Although he is a pastor, his first love is being an evangelist, for that is where his ministry began. Pastor Steve has a heart for people, whether it is in a pulpit as a pastor or as an evangelist.

“Faith For The Hour”

In the early 90’s Pastor Steve reached out from his own pulpit and began a television ministry in the hills of West Virginia, where he met his wife, Bonnie. Realizing there were hurting people in homes everywhere he began “Miracles by Faith” television program which aired weekly. Together they now produce a weekly program, “Faith For The Hour” that is aired in Tennessee and the surrounding states, taking the gospel of Jesus Christ to those who in no other way would receive it.

God has given him a message of victory to share with a world that has no hope. Brother Steve has taken this message behind the iron bars of prison and jail cells as well as churches across America. God has placed special gifts and talents in Brother Warren’s life that has allowed him to touch people’s hearts in a unique way.

"God has given him a message of victory to share."

"Mend the broken hearted and set the captive free."

Not only does he preach the gospel under a powerful anointing, God has placed that same anointing on his singing. He has seen God use the anointing on a song to mend the broken hearted and set the captive free. Whether he is preaching or singing, Brother Steve feels that he can do neither without the anointing.

"Brother Warren stands firmly upon the Word of God"

Throughout his ministry, God has allowed Brother Steve to operate in the Gifts of the Spirit according to 1 Corinthians chapter 12. He has seen the lame walk, the blind see, the deaf hear, and the captive set free through the power of God. Brother Warren stands firmly upon the Word of God, which he preaches and lives accordingly, under the direction of the Spirit of God.
