Khoury is the president of "Holy Land Missions", a non-profit organization which was established in 1979 by his family. The organization provides health and financial aid to needy families in the region and supports the largest
evangelical Arab ministries in the Holy Land. Steven Khoury is the pastor of The First Baptist Church in
Bethlehem which was established by his father, Dr. Naim Khoury. He is also the pastor of Calvary Church in
Jerusalem. In 2012, Khoury was informed by Palestinian Authority officials that his church, The First Baptist Church in Bethlehem, lacked the authority to function as a religious institution under PA jurisdiction. In July 2014, the congregation of Calvary Baptist Church, which Khoury ministers, was evicted out of their building in the
Shuafat area of Eastern Jerusalem after Islamists threatened their landlord. This eviction came eight years after Khoury's organization "Holy Land Missions" was forced to close another church in
Beit Hanina in 2006. In January 2020, Khoury called out for peace following U.S. President
Donald Trump's "
Deal of the Century", this in contrast to the Palestinian Authority which called out for mass demonstrations and violence. In 2023, Khoury, along with members of
The Isaiah Projects organization, led a humanitarian effort to save Dina, a Gazan woman whose husband was murdered over a property dispute. The joint effort helped to secure safe passage for Dina from
Gaza to
Bethlehem in the
West Bank. ==Works==
