Stephen Barr is a Creative Services Specialist at Graybar. He possess expertise in creative direction, art direction, advertising, creative strategy, graphic design and 19 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "Stephen's work has directly and indirectly changed many people's lives and drawn them deeper in faith. In meetings with people new to the church, I heard countless times that they decided to check out the church because they drove by and liked our signage that has the logo on it or they decided to check out a sermon series because the graphics for a sermon series seemed intriguing. Stephen created the brand and helps shepherd it as the church grows and evolves and continues to be an invaluable leader in the creative process at The Gathering." and "It was Stephen's branding work for The Gathering that first caught my eye, and it has continued to draw people in the front doors of the church years later. In a denomination that at times feels stuffy and antiquated, he managed to craft a modern aesthetic that communicated the fresh feel and vibrance of a new and growing church, compelling people of all ages to come see what this brand new United Methodist church in the city of St. Louis was all about. Beyond just casting an aesthetic vision, Stephen has proved a tireless steward of The Gathering's brand, and an even more indefatigable servant of its communication needs. In the ebb and flow of a growing church's tide of volunteers and new staff, consistency is hard to come by, but Stephen has provided a steady hand of creativity, as well as a willingness to guide and support new volunteers who feel called to serve their church in a creative capacity."
