About Steve Lindsley
Steve Lindsley joins a growing group of consultants and coaches in assisting churches and middle judicatories to respond faithfully to our adaptive challenges.
A lifelong Presbyterian, Steve is in his tenth year as Senior Pastor/Head of Staff at Trinity Presbyterian Church in Charlotte, NC, a position in which he will continue to serve as he becomes a colleague on the PMX team. He previously served as associate pastor and pastor in other Presbyterian Church (USA) churches. Steve received his undergraduate degree from Wake Forest, an MA in Christian Education from the Presbyterian School of Christian Education, an M.Div. from Columbia Theological Seminary, and a D.Min. from Pittsburgh Theological Seminary. Steve is currently an ICF Coach-in-Training. He served on the Strategy Team of NEXT Church from 2018-2022. When it comes to the numerous challenges now facing the American church, Steve believes fervently, in the words of PCUSA Stated Clerk J. Herbert Nelson, that “the church is not dying - it is transforming.” Longing to help church leaders and churches be part of that transformation, Steve comes alongside congregations as they address two simple yet fundamental questions: “What’s next?” and “What if?” Prayerful discernment, visioning, strategic planning, thoughtful transition work, and revitalization efforts are all strengths Steve brings to our shared work. An accomplished musician and singer/songwriter, Steve has led music for numerous youth conferences across the country. He has also released three original music albums and is working on his fourth, “Back Again,” to be released in the first quarter of this year. When he’s not preaching, pastoring, or making music, Steve enjoys swimming, cheering for the Carolina Panthers, yard work, and frequent summer trips to the beach. Steve is married to Lorie, his wife of 23+ years. Together they have two college-age sons, Connor and Hunter. Rounding out the Lindsley home are dogs Sunny and Lady and Bindi, the cat.
