Pastor Stephen Robertson

Rev. Stephen Robertson was born and raised in Inglewood, California, as the youngest of four children. Nurtured by parents who instilled a deep understanding of the gospel in him from an early age, his personal call to ministry was sparked at sixteen as a member of Angeles Mesa Presbyterian Church, where he actively served as a liturgist and youth choir member.

Rooted in family, Rev. Robertson has been married to his wife, Shantell Darby Robertson, since February 11, 2017. Shantell deeply shares his commitment to community empowerment and supporting those around them. Together, they are profoundly grateful for the opportunity to step into this next chapter of ministry, serving the community through the grace, love, and power of Jesus Christ.

Driven by a desire to equip himself for impactful leadership, Rev. Robertson earned a Bachelor of Arts in Africana Studies from California State University, Dominguez Hills (2009–2013) and a Master of Divinity from Fuller Theological Seminary (2013–2017). On May 15, 2022, he was formally ordained as a Minister of Word and Sacrament by the Presbytery of the Pacific.

Rev. Robertson brings a rich and diverse background in pastoral care and leadership. He successfully balanced roles as the Youth Pastor at Lincoln Memorial Congregational Church (2016–2021) and the Children, Youth, and Family Director at Lutheran Church in the Foothills (2018–2021), demonstrating a deep commitment to intergenerational ministry. After sharpening his pastoral leadership in the San Fernando Presbytery Pastor's Apprenticeship program in 2021, he accepted the call to serve as the solo pastor at Butler Memorial Presbyterian Church in Savannah, Georgia, where he led from July 3, 2022- July 2026. He has now accepted to be Pastor of First Presbyterian Church of Red Wing, Minnesota.
