ABOUT STEPHEN

Stephen Forester is from Lapeer, Michigan. He has a diverse and exciting ministry!

Stephen began traveling in 2008 with his brother Joshua. They were know as "The Forester Brothers". In July 2013, Joshua married Angela Gilson. and the group was re-organized as "The Forester Brothers Family". In November 2014, Stephen married Marie Arnswald, and she immediately joined the group. 

In November of 2016, Joshua and Angela came off the road, after feeling a new calling from God to begin working with teens in their local church. The group was then reorganized as a husband and wife team.

Stephen and Marie were blessed with the birth of their son, Stephen II, on May 24th, 2017. They continued to travel full-time, while raising their baby on the road for over a year after that.

In October of 2018, the decision was made for Marie to step off the road to become a full time stay-at-home mommy. After much prayer, they announced this change in November, and Stephen began to move into solo ministry.  In January 2020, their second son Michael was born.

Stephen is a gospel music vocalist and multi-talented instrumentalist. He is also a ventriloquist with professional puppets, and can preach for church services. His well-rounded ministry offers unique elements for children and adults alike. 

Stephen ministers in over 100 meetings per year. He accepts bookings in church services, concerts, banquets, revivals, children's programs, and just about any other event that you may need him for! He comes on a love-offering basis, plus a small travel fee for significant distances. No event is too large or too small!

Stephen and his wife Marie are born again Christians. They are active members of Faith Bible Baptist Church in Lapeer, Michigan.

Stephen is a graduate of Midwestern Baptist College in Orion, Michigan, and was officially ordained as a preacher in the ministry on May 21, 2011. His wife Marie is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin- Green Bay.
