Pastor Steve Shaw
Pastor Steve Shaw is a native of Lubbock, Texas and has carried a burden and lifelong vision for the ministry he was to complete and formulate in the heart of West Texas. Steve’s vision, for the growth and continual forward progress of Westwood, has led to a relocation process from 38th and Avenue B to our present facilities on the corner of 87th and Upland Avenue in Southwest Lubbock. Under his leadership, the church has experienced growth and is now going into its third building project as Westwood continues to remain committed to growth, expansion, and impact through the ever-living Word of God. Conference speaker, Leadership instructor, and Inspirational teacher, Steve continues to inspire and raise up leaders and spiritual motivators who go beyond the walls of Westwood and become a vital part to the growth of the Kingdom of God across the city and the nation.
With a desire to continue the growth, instruction, and maturing of those who are hungry in their walks with God for deeper relationship, Pastor Steve excels in laying foundations that are built upon, developed, and then released to further the Kingdom and it’s principles. Serving in Leadership roles in the community and in organizational setting he has continued to serve, minister, and open his heart to lead others to a deeper understanding of God’s will. Serving as a Bishop/Overseer to younger ministers is a part of his heart. The family of Westwood continues to increase and grow spiritually, numerically, and instructionally under his leadership and pastoral guidance. |
