Ericka Smith-Stephens
Executive Assistant, Session, Ruling Elder
My passion is serving others. I thrive behind the scenes, ensuring everything runs smoothly. Having a servant’s heart helps keep me connected to Jesus, who served passionately—even to the point of laying down His life for all of mankind. Knowing that I am called to be an Administrator, I currently serve as the part-time Executive Assistant to Interwoven Church. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with our 3 boys, cooking, watching sports with hubby, going to comedy shows, traveling, and embracing the beautiful chaos of my purpose-driven life.

Growing up in Northwest Pasadena was an amazing experience. The community is knitted together in a way that is secure and comforting. Seems like anywhere I go, there is someone I know or that knows my family! As the Managing Director Mentoring Partnership for Youth Development (MPYD), it is my purpose to mentor young people into their purpose. I love it. My hobbies are traveling, trying new restaurants, and relaxing when I can. Be blessed.

I grew up in Altadena, CA. I am currently a Developmental Interventionist at Professional Child Development Associates, where I support children and teens with autism and other developmental differences through play‑based, relationship centered work. I have always felt called to create spaces where young people feel safe, seen, and celebrated. I’m excited to co-lead the Kids Ministry at Interwoven Church and to walk alongside families in a community that values love, growth, and connection!
