About us

Our names are Joshua and Denise Steward, and we are from Canton, Ohio. Joshua graduated from Jackson, Ohio, and Denise graduated from North Canton, Ohio (we know a house divided, haha). Denise and I have been married for 27 years, as of October 2025. We have been missionaries for the past 14 years, with nearly 12 years spent on the field in the Republic of Ireland. We have four children: Connor, Chloe, Clark and Cate. Connor is married to Holly, and Chloe is married to Noah Werstler. We are Church planters in the Republic of Ireland, planting one church in Mallow, Ireland: Mallow Bible Fellowship.

Five years ago, we moved to Tralee, County Kerry, to establish the second Church where we currently reside. Before Joshua was called into the ministry, he worked as a plumber and pipe fitter in Local 94 in Canton. Along with being church planters, we are one-on-one disciple makers. Our heart desires to see people trained so that they can teach. Disciples making disciples. In a very religious country of 98% Roman Catholic, our motto is No Religion Just Jesus. We are currently seeing the fruits of our labour through disciples who have come through our discipleship program, and are in turn discipling others.

We are real people serving a real Lord who is worthy of all that we have and can give. - Pastor Joshua Steward
