Leadership
Steve Schellin
Senior Pastor
​
Steve is our founding Pastor. After serving as a Congressional aide, Steve became a college administrator, Youth Pastor and Pastor of Ministry Development. Out of that bag of experience the Lord called him and his wife Stephanie to start Southland with 9 couples. Steve never allows someone to stay a stranger, which his children say is a little creepy. He enjoys playing bad golf, playing even worse basketball and building his friends’ self-esteem with his new interest, pickleball.
Stephanie and Steve have been married for 39 years and have two adult kids and a puppy, soon to be the size of an adult human. Daughter, Meredith Turton and her husband William live and work in Washington D.C. Son, Landon owns a small business where he lives in Lancaster, Ohio. Puppy, Max, lives with Steve and Stephanie, eating everything in sight, including the entire back yard.

Nathan York
Youth Pastor
​
Nate is our youth pastor. After graduating from Indiana Wesleyan University with a Bachelor’s of Christian Ministries and a Master’s of Practical Theology, Nate became a children’s pastor on the West side of Indianapolis for a couple of years before coming to Southland to lead our middle and high school student ministry. He grew up here in Center Grove and has always felt a calling to work with students. He enjoys watching movies, getting outside to hike or camp, and playing sports. Nate married Chelsea, his high school sweetheart, in 2016 and together they have two kids, Trinity and Steven, along with two black labs, Jaxx and Lana.

Stephanie Schellin
Children's & Women's Director
​
Stephanie love to teach! She has been a college professor, elementary teacher & principal, middle school Bible teacher , and a women’s Bible study leader. So it was a natural fit to work with Children’s and Women’s ministries at Southland. You can usually find Stephanie with a book or walking her Bernedoodle Max (or Max walking her… some days it is hard to tell). She loves finding a bargain whether she needs it or not. If you like Pastor Steve’s sermons, that’s her husband. If you don’t like his sermons, they just happen to share the same last name. Pastor Steve and Stephanie have two grown children, Meredith and Landon, and a gem of a son-in-law, William, who all live out of state and they usually use their vacation to visit them.
