Steffany took up songwriting as a way to figure out the world. She loved taking melodies and putting them into people’s stories and writing about life circumstances.
As a teenager, Steffany was already leading worship on stage for the Nazarene church she grew up in.
In 2008 she felt a sense of God calling her to relocate to Redding, California.
She was given the opportunity to work with Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry and was thrilled when they offered her the opportunity to grow and be a part of leading a generation whose purpose is to prepare a new generation of passionate believers who want nothing more than to serve God.
Steffany’s heart is to minister first to the Lord, giving Him joy & adoration.

Bethel released another album titled Tides (2013), and she sings in “Letting Go” and “Be Still”.
