Pastor Steve Calagna was raised in the Roman Catholic Church, and after a few years of walking away from God, became an adult Christian in 1970 during the Jesus movement. He attended Melodyland School of Theology and received an undergraduate diploma in 1976. He also attended Kings Seminary and earned a Masters of Divinity degree. He is an ordained minister with the Church of God, Cleveland, Tennessee.

Steve has been the Pastor of North County Christian Fellowship since 1978. He has participated in a variety of renewal movements that cross almost all denominational lines. He has been a spiritual director for the Catholic and Anglican Cursillo movement, a worship leader for various interchurch events, a teacher, and has worked hard in his community towards the unity of the church and its leadership through honest relationship.

Steve has raised 5 children, and after suffering a tragic divorce, is now married to Carol who partners with him in ministry. “God can use even our worst                
                                                                                         tragedies in life to better us if we offer them to Him.”

• North County Christian Fellowship was begun in 1978 as an independent interdenominational church and affiliated with the Church of God, Cleveland Tennessee in 2010. One of our highest values is to be genuine and live in a genuine relationship with God. In everything we do, worship, prayer, teaching and service, we seek to live this relationship out, not only at church but also in our everyday lives.
• North County Christian Fellowship is a "come as you are" church. People wear everyday clothes, use everyday mannerisms and speak in everyday language. Real spirituality must take place in an everyday environment, and be applicable to our everyday life. God is for everyday, not just Sunday's, and by being "everyday" at church, we hope to help people realize that truth.
• North County Christian Fellowship is a "charismatic" or "Pentecostal" church in the sense that we believe in the empowerment of the Spirit following the salvation of every believer, and seek to make room for the Spirit of God in all we do. Our lives are to be a partnership of both the human and the Divine as we live out our lives in Christ.
• North County Christian Fellowship is a church of grace. People come in every condition and are welcomed to experience the love of God for them. Christ died for broken people and this church is filled with broken people whom Christ loves. The gospel is "good news" and is the center from which we live our relationship with God and one another.
