ELDERS

RANDY STEELE
Teaching Elder

Thank you for accessing our church’s website. 
I hope you find here the information you want. 

Some background for me as the pastor:  I was raised in a Christian home and came to faith in Jesus Christ as a seven year old in the fall of 1960.  I thank the Lord that He convicted me of my sin and convinced me of my need for His forgiveness through His Son.  Upon His mercy and by His grace I have walked with Christ ever since.
    One of the Lord’s blessings to me came as I married above my natural station in life when Linno Hale and I wed in 1975.  We have been given three children, one of whom is now with the Lord, and five grandchildren, one of whom is also with the Lord.
    I’m a graduate of Eastern New Mexico University, Covenant Theological Seminary and New Geneva Theological Seminary.  I’ve been privileged to pastor Providence Presbyterian Church since 1991.
    I offer to you the theme verse my wife and I chose for our lives and ministry many years ago:  “Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making an appeal through us; we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God” (2 Cor. 5:20).

ROBERT MEYERS
Ruling Elder

After becoming a Christian in high school through the presentation of the gospel by an itinerant Irish preacher, I had been involved in an evangelical campus ministry and then served on its staff and then with a service mission developing engineering plans for overseas missions facilities; where I also met the bookkeeper, Carol Evans, who became my wife.  We moved back to Albuquerque with new work, where PPC has been our church home for almost 20 years.  We are grateful to God for faithful preaching from our pastors, the shepherding that our church provides and the wonderful family of God that we are a part of here growing together in grace of God.  
"The secret of the Lord is for those who fear Him, And He will make them know His covenant." Psalm 25:14

Teaching Elder

I am the PTAP (part-time assistant pastor ... emphasis on the "part-time"). My wife, Karen and I have been at PPC since the Fall of 2011.  I started as PTAP in January of 2012. I am the older brother of the Senior Pastor and am glad that I have the chance to be of some help to him. I am semi-retired, which is why there is emphasis on the PART-TIME part of the assistant pastor. I have served in three churches in NM.

DEACONS

DAN DeCOSTA has been a member of Providence since 2005. I was saved by the grace of God in 1995. I came to PPC looking for a church that faithfully taught the Word of God. I stayed because of the grace i saw the church officers and congregation show to each other and the visitors. I have been a deacon since 2008.  "Who were born, not of blood, nor the will of the flesh, nor the will of man, but of God." John 1:13 as well as "He must increase, but I must increase." John 3:30 are a couple of my favorite verses.

ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF

CAROL MEYERS Office Secretary
I remember moving to Albuquerque in 1984 and being almost dragged to a Bible study started by some Presbyterians!  Aren't they liberal?  I soon discovered they are not!  At least the PCA kind.  As we watched things develop and grow I realized this was where I wanted to be.  Except for a few years of absence we have been with this church  from the very beginning and have grown tremendously in our spiritual lives.  I'm so thankful to God for bringing us home to Providence!

RITA HAAS  Children's Sunday School Coordinator
We moved to Albuquerque from Indiana in 2011 shortly after our first son was born.   Because we were living far away from family, adjusting to new jobs, and caring for a newborn it was such a blessing to become members of the warm church family at Providence.   Recently God has blessed us with another little boy.  We are overjoyed to be raising both our boys in this caring church community.
