Along with the moderate summer temperatures of late, the Spirit continues to move among us here in Grace Presbytery. It has now been six months since our interim general presbyter, Rev. Dr. Steve Shive, arrived from Wyoming to help lead us through the next transitional phase of our presbytery.

Steve has prepared some general remarks, including staff and process updates, in a brief video available for viewing on the presbytery’s Vimeo page.

Video highlights include:

  • Presbyterian Mission Center meetings & current hours of operation
  • Collaborative team-building initiatives and plans for strategic visioning
  • Stated (Hybrid) Meeting of the presbytery: Saturday, September 25
  • Plans to visit more of our congregations

Thank you for taking the time to view this video message. Please also take a moment to share a link with your pastor and church leaders. We welcome your thoughts and feedback.


Rev. Dr. Stephen A. Shive serves as interim general presbyter for Grace Presbytery. Prior to his arrival in Texas, he led the Presbytery of Wyoming as general presbyter. Steve is husband of 35 years to Doris, father to Claire and Jordan, and a proud Auburn war eagle.
