Steele Baptist Church

B. J. and Julie have been married since 2010 and have three sons, Levi, Gauge, and Cole. They love watching their kids play sports and being outside hiking, fishing, and hunting. They also very much enjoy playing cards or board games.  B. J. is a mechanic at Right Price Automotive and Transmission in Steele, and Julie stays at home and homeschools their boys.

Julie has been attending Steele Baptist Church all her life.  As a young child she accepted Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior, was baptized, and became a member of Steele Baptist.  B. J. began attending in 2008 after being set up on a blind date with Julie. They were married on October 10, 2010 (10/10/10) at Steele Baptist Church.  B. J. was saved and baptized and became a member of Steele Baptist in 2013. Their lives wandered from the Lord, their church involvement was sporadic, and they were not faithful for several years.  In 2022 during a time in their marriage when they were on the brink of separation, the Lord intervened in a powerful way.  Their hearts were convicted and they rededicated their hearts to the Lord.  Their family and marriage have been greatly restored and blessed since allowing the Lord to lead their lives!

B. J. and Julie started serving in the position of Preteen Director in 2023. They work with children in grades 4-6. Their hope is that the children will come to know and love Jesus. They teach them the Word of God, hoping to implant a desire to want to know more about our Savior.  B. J. and Julie say, "We want this love and desire to spread through them to their families, and we hope to see families come to love Jesus and be restored the way ours was."
