Our Staff
James Leinneweber
Pastor
Pastor James Leinneweber was born and raised in San Antonio where he met his beautiful wife, Kori whom he married in 1991. They have three awesome boys, Connor, Kevin, and Cole who have been by their side throughout their ministry! After more than fourteen very successful years at Dell Computer Corporation, James followed his call into the ministry. He began serving as an associate/youth pastor for Grace Baptist Church in Early, TX. In 2007 he moved to the Bulverde/Spring Branch area to plant Heritage Baptist Church. In 2015, Heritage Baptist Church merged with Spring Branch Baptist Church to form Rebecca Creek Baptist Church. Moving to Comal county was a coming home of sorts for Pastor James and his family. Pastor James graduated from Smithson Valley High School in 1988. He is also a graduate of Southwest Texas State University in San Marcos and holds a Masters degree in Theology from Andersonville Theological Seminary.
Todd Steele
Associate Pastor
Todd Steele was born and raised in Northern Kentucky and was saved at age 12. After attending Northern Kentucky Univerity, Todd began faithfully serving under the tutelage of Pastor Barry Wilson at Hilltop Baptist Church in Fairfield, Ohio. Later Todd would receive the “call to preach” and the Lord opened a door for him to move to Texas. Mrs. Ginger was saved at age 7 during a church camp she was attending with her parents and sister. She has many years of experience as a Christian school teacher, using Abeka curriculum, and will be teaching in our school, Rebecca Creek Christian Academy. Todd and Ginger served faithfully and received ministry training at Trinity Baptist Church and Trinity Baptist Bible College in Arlington, Texas under the direction of Pastor Emeritus Bob W. Smith and Pastor Todd Lasseter. In 2014 the Steeles answered the call to “full time ministry.” They began 7sMinistries, a ministry to assist local churches of the United States. After 10 years with 7sMinistries, Todd and Ginger joined Rebecca Creek Baptist Church in July of 2024.

Efren was saved as a young boy shortly after his mother got saved, and Paige was saved at the age of 15 after youth camp.
