Welcome Our New Superintendent

After more than a year of prayerful and careful searching our Lord has called Mr. Stephen Steiner to serve Him in the role of Superintendent at Briarwood.
Mr. Steiner and his wife Ginger (BCS Graduate 1991) have 3 daughters (Amelia 10
th
, Claudia 8
th
, Margaret 6
th
). Mr. Steiner is a graduate of Auburn University and received his Masters of Education (Education Leadership) from Covenant College.
He has served at New Hope Christian Academy in Memphis for almost 2 decades spending the last 6 years as their Head of School.
His love for our Lord and commitment to the church is clearly evidenced by his faithful service at Second Presbyterian Church in Memphis as both a deacon and a ruling elder.
We look forward to you meeting Mr. Steiner and hearing his heart’s passion to see learners come to understand and embrace who they are in Christ and why they were created. As a life calling he seeks to help students mature, grow in wisdom and prayerfully become transformational agents in God’s world.

in watercolor painting!
So much fun was had and many new friends were made!
