Steven Blackburn

I’ve been married to my wife, Allison, for 16 years. We’re the proud parents of Finn (14), Johnnie June (12), and Willa (11)—our family is the heart of everything I do.

As owner of Manifold Properties & Restoration, I specialize in residential remodeling, managing our rentals, and overseeing client investment properties. Allison works as a Realtor. Every project is a chance to restore what’s broken or worn and bring it new life - a tangible reflection of the renewal God continues in our own hearts and marriage.

We’re active members of Red Stone Church in Johnson City, Tennessee, where we worship and serve together.

From 2013 to 2020, I served in full-time pastoral ministry, helping plant Red Stone Church, then pastoring at Vintage Church in Raleigh, NC, and Redeemer Community Church back in Johnson City. Those years deepened my passion for walking alongside people through life’s highs and lows, helping them encounter God’s unconditional love in real, practical ways.

I’m deeply grateful for the faithful men who stood by me in my hardest seasons with wisdom, presence, and grace. That support inspires me today to offer the same steady compassion to others - slowing down, truly listening, and reminding those who doubt or hurt that their Father knows and adores them deeply.
