About the Author

Steve Newman’s family moved to Jefferson City in March of 1965 when Steve was 10 years old. Steve and his father, Charles, began attending the church shortly thereafter at the invitation of then-Pastor D. Russell Lytle. Steve became a member in 1966. He has served in leadership roles on several church committees and boards, taught Sunday School, and helped to establish the First United Methodist Foundation for our church. He has also served as un usher for over fifty years. Prior to retirement, Steve practiced law in Jefferson City for forty years. He and his wife, Tammy, were married in the church. They have three adult daughters who were baptized and raised in the church.
