Steven Bishop was born on the seventh day of the seventh month in Southern California yet considers Utah as his “home base” while growing up. He has worked as an entrepreneur most of his professional life, including as a seasoned real estate investor. Steven is best known for having obtained the first ever granted exclusive worldwide license to replicate Michelangelo’s incomparable “La Pieta” sculpture from the Vatican Observatory Foundation. His company, “Vescovo Buonarroti Art”, has made the viewing of its replicas available to Catholic Churches throughout the United States, as well as internationally (see www.LaPieta.com).

Steven has served in many callings in his Church, beginning as a young missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Seville, Spain (now Malaga) Mission. Since his mission, Steven has worked in various callings including that of serving as a Priest Quorum Advisor, Elders Quorum President, in a Bishopric, and as Director of Public Affairs for Tempe and Chandler, Arizona. Steven Bishop joyfully welcomes opportunities to promote building faith in Jesus Christ, including volunteering to speak at firesides or other faith promoting events.

When not serving in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Steven can be found doing missionary work and finding the Lord’s elect. Steven’s favorite thing to do is to witness to the reality of our risen Savior, Jesus Christ, to all who will listen. Steven and his wife Rebecca recently moved from Chandler, Arizona to Utah, and have raised four daughters along with a little yorkie dog named “Gracie”, who they all swear is an actual person.
