Stephen Higgins serves as a Missionary Archdeacon within Reach, a senior presbyter entrusted with the oversight, development, and ordering of missional initiatives under the direction of the Missional Council. His ministry reflects a steady commitment to Christ, His Church, and the faithful proclamation of the Gospel among the vulnerable and overlooked.

Formed from an early age by parents who instilled faith, hope, and love, Stephen was led toward baptism, devotion to Holy Scripture, and serious theological study. He maintains a disciplined spiritual life marked by prayer, repentance, and obedience to the Word of God. Jeremiah 1:7–10 has long shaped his sense of calling, reminding him that the Lord sends and sustains His servants for appointed work.

Since 2001, Stephen has focused significant energy on confronting human trafficking and responding to the global refugee crisis. Through advocacy, education, partnership, and prayer, he seeks to defend the exploited and bring the light of Christ into places of profound darkness.
