Steve Pruett (Interim Pastor)

Steve and His wife Sue served for 10 years as missionaries to the Philippines with New Tribes Mission.  They lived and worked in the tropical jungle on the Island of Palawan, reaching a primitive nomadic tribe called the Batak. They were involved in evangelism, teaching, literacy, medical work and Bible translation, and God used them over the years to bring many Batak tribal people to faith in Christ.

As that work closed, they moved in 1988 to Santa Maria, to start an Evangelical Free Church, which eventually became known as “The Harbor”. Steve served as Senior Pastor in Santa Maria for 26 years, until retiring in March of 2014.

After retirement, Steve filled in for Pastor Dale whenever the need arose, and then served as our Interim Pastor in 2024-25 after Pastor Dale’s retirement. Now he’s back, serving again as Interim Pastor.  Steve still has a passion for the clear teaching of God’s Word, and is thrilled that God continues to use him at Cayucos Community Church.

Andrew Redel (Associate Pastor)

Andrew is an exceedingly talented musician and individual.  Andrew joined the Cayucos Community Church team in 2023 with several decades of musical and ministry experience—he plays a consistent and vital role in leading our church family into the presence of God in corporate worship on Sunday mornings.

Andrew has two young boys—AJ (Andrew Junior) and Eli.  His passion for Jesus, delight in congregational participation, musical skill, and encouraging spirit are a constant source of joy and benefit within our church family.
