Stephen Drew

Stephen Drew is a Financial Advisor at Covenant Trust, where he partners with individuals and families to help them reach their financial goals through thoughtful planning, wise stewardship, and personalized guidance. He views financial decisions as more than just numbers—they are opportunities to align resources with each client’s values, priorities, and legacy.

Before entering the financial services profession, Stephen served in pastoral ministry for more than a decade. That experience shaped his approach to advising by instilling a deep commitment to listening well, building lasting relationships, and walking alongside people through many of life’s most significant milestones. In 2023, he transitioned into financial services, bringing that same heart for service into a profession centered on helping clients make wise financial decisions with confidence.

Prior to joining Covenant Trust, Stephen served as Account Manager for a leading Financial Advisor, where he worked closely with clients to coordinate financial planning strategies and deliver exceptional service. He earned a Bachelor of Arts in Christian Ministries from Judson University and a Master of Divinity from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School.

Stephen lives in Crystal Lake, Illinois, with his wife, Laura, and their three children: Titus, Hudson, and Joanna. Faith and family are central to his life. He enjoys reading classic literature and history, spending time with his family, and anything soccer. He values the opportunity to serve clients with integrity, compassion, and a long-term perspective as they pursue their financial and legacy goals.
