Steve Childs, MDiv
For over two decades now I have been helping to create spaces for couples and individuals to find healing and hope in their relationships, whether romantic relationships, friendships, or family relationships. This work has primarily happened in Christian faith community settings, though the tools needed to build healthy relationships are the same for everyone, no matter your background.
In 2018 I decided to step out and start Revival Counseling with the hope of making these kinds of spaces available to more people, like you! I take great joy in seeing people take courageous steps to keep relationships going strong through the ups and downs that inevitably come.
I grew up in Sacramento and came to the Bay Area to study Cognitive Science and Philosophy as an undergrad at UC Berkeley and went on to earn my Masters of Divinity at the American Baptist Seminary of the West in Berkeley as well. I've worked in faith communities in Berkeley, Oakland and Vancouver, BC.
I am currently an ordained pastor with Tribe Church in Oakland, CA.
