Program

Steve Pinto is the Student Ministry Pastor at Faro Church, in Lake Forest, California.
Steve attended the Latin American Bible Institute (LABI) where he graduated in 2001 with the highest honors. After graduating from LABI he transferred to Vanguard University in Southern California, to continue his education in pastoral and ministerial studies. During the interim of his studies he helped his brother and Senior Pastor Joshua Pinto start “Faro Church”, a bilingual and multi-cultural church plant in Lake Forest, California (www.farous.org). Faro Church celebrated their eighth anniversary this past November (2010) where to date Steve sits on the board of Elders. Pastor Steve is also an adjunct faculty member for LABI-FARO, a satellite extensions campus of LABI in Lake Forest, CA where he is also the Extension Coordinator.

Steve’s knowledge of God’s Word and love for people mixed with his high energy and sense of humor has been a powerful tool in God’s hands to reach out to today’s youth. Steve has served students as a Campus Pastor (LABI 2004-2008), speaker, and translator.

He is frequently invited to preach at various youth events, camps, concerts, and conventions throughout the state and beyond. Among many other opportunities, Steve enjoys short term missions where he has served as an interpreter for more than 12 years. In 2008-2009 Steve served as the Key Note speaker for Azusa Pacific University’s Mexico Outreach. Steve along with his friend and co-host Henry Thomas have a pod cast called “The Steve & Henry Show” that brings God’s word to youth in a contemporary way.

Steve enjoys playing soccer and lives in Irvine, CA. He is married to Diane and has two children, Alexi Grace (3), and a Son, Nathan Canaan (2).
