Steve McCready is originally from Belfast, Northern Ireland. Along with his wife, Rebecca, and their children, Isabella and Shay, Steve holds citizenship in Ireland, the UK, and Canada. Over the past 25 years, he has served in executive leadership roles across three continents, most recently in Australia.

Steve’s leadership journey has included roles such as National Director of Youth for Christ Northern Ireland, Executive Pastor at Brentview Church in Calgary, and Senior Pastor at Faith St. Thomas in Ontario. Most recently, he served as Senior Minister at Riverview Church in Perth, Western Australia, while also teaching as a professor at Morling College (Australia) and Kairos University (USA).

With a deep passion for education and leadership formation, Steve holds a master’s degree in leadership, a postgraduate diploma in ministry supervision, a Doctor of Ministry, and is currently completing a Doctor of Theology. His ministry focuses on Bible teaching, leadership development, and global missions.

Beyond his ministry work, Steve loves spending time with his family—watching movies, travelling (he has visited 47 countries), and exploring the outdoors. An avid hiker, rock climber, and camper, one of his greatest personal achievements was summiting Mount Kilimanjaro in 2024.

Steve and Rebecca have been married for 20 years and have always dreamed of serving in camp ministry. They were instrumental in establishing Youth for Christ’s summer camp ministry in Northern Ireland and have been frequent speakers and leaders at camps for over two decades. Now, the whole McCready family is excited to step into this new chapter, serving together at Camp Mini-Yo-We.
