Annie Stevens
STUDENT MINISTRY Associate Minister
Annie is a native Texan but grew up in Nashville, TN, in a Christian family that exemplified what it means to live and love like Christ. She accepted Jesus as my Savior at the age of 7 and always loved being at church where she thrived in church music, discipleship and missions. She loves people, and the church is her happy place! After returning to Texas as a freshman in high school, she attended East Texas Baptist University for my undergraduate studies and am is on track to complete her Master of Theological Studies in Fall 2022 at ETBU.
"It is exciting to see how God has weaved my call of ministering to teenagers, my love of sports, and my passion for music into a life of service that I never imagined possible. My faith journey has taken me throughout the United States, Central America, South America, and Europe. I have a huge love for teenagers and am eager to see them come to know Jesus and grow in their relationship with Him."
