Steve Lilja
Steve is married to Lynn and they have three children and four grandchildren. Steve is retired from the Civil Service. He currently works part-time at a golf course, where he also gets to pursue his favorite hobby. He grew up at the Orchard Church in Arlington Heights (formally AHEFC) which his parents had helped found and where he accepted the Lord as a child, probably in Mr. Sherman’s 4th-grade boys’ Sunday school class.
At CrossView, Steve has served as Elder, AWANA Leader, Small Group Leader, and Choir Director and has done some preaching. In previous churches he also served as Deacon, Adult Sunday School Teacher, Music Minister, Worship Leader, Choir, and Orchestra member. He also thoroughly enjoyed doing some pulpit supply.
His favorite verse is Romans 8:28 because he looks forward to everything being right in eternity, despite the aggravations of life in a fallen world.
