Rev. Marco Ste-Marie serves as minister of the Okotoks–De Winton Pastoral Charge. Originally from Québec,
Marco brings to ministry a deep love of people, storytelling, thoughtful theology, and a belief that church is at its best when it creates space for people to belong, question, grow, and discover where the Spirit may be leading. His ministry is grounded in compassion, inclusion, and a commitment to justice.
Marco is passionate about creating worship that connects faith with everyday life and encourages communities to look beyond their walls toward the needs of their neighbours and the wider world. Marco believes church does not need to have all the answers.
Sometimes the most faithful thing we can do is ask good questions, listen deeply, laugh together, and remain open to what God might be doing next.
