A Visit with the Pastor

Pastor Steve Mirich, Jr.

828-693-8651

Pastor Stephen (“Steve”) Mirich, Jr. serves as the Pastor of Covenant Presbyterian Church. A native of Youngstown, Ohio, Steve met his wife, Cassandra (“Cassy”), at her church home, and they were married on February 2, 2002... a date made even sweeter by God’s providence, as they share the same spiritual birthday (2.2.98).

They have been blessed with five children: Faith, Maelee, Sami, and twin boys Deacon and Isaac, whom Cassy has homeschooled. In recent years, the Lord has graciously expanded their family. Faith married Wyatt Conard in 2021, and they welcomed their first grandson, Walker Conard, in 2023. Sami married Shepherd Benson in 2025, and Maelee will marry Moses Vander Maas in 2026. That same year, Faith and Wyatt will welcome another baby boy.
 

Steve began studying Civil Engineering at Youngstown State University before the Lord redirected him into ministry. He graduated from Geneva College with a degree in Community Ministry and earned his Master of Divinity from Reformed Theological Seminary in Charlotte. Prior to Covenant, he served seven years as a youth pastor and assistant pastor at Carolina PCA Church in Locust, North Carolina.

The Mirich family loves serving in ministry together. They are active in their church and community, support a children’s home in Cambodia, and enjoy opening their home for hospitality. Cassy is a certified biblical counselor with a heart for walking alongside women through Scripture and prayer. Steve and Cassy enjoy biking the Ecusta Trail, playing pickleball, and cheering on the Steelers, Pirates, and Duke basketball.

Steve is known for his down-to-earth spirit, love for people, and devotion to the Lord. As a family, the Mirichs seek to walk by faith, resting daily in God’s abundant grace and praying that their joy in Christ would be contagious.
