Rife & Shay Stewart are the lead pastors of Jubilee Church. They've been married for 21 years. They have two great kids, Savannah (15) and Noah (11). They grew up in the same youth group, went to the same school, same university and have been a team in ministry for the last 16 years.

What we've been up to the last 20 years...
Wow, that's makes us sound old, but, really, we're not. Well, part of that time I was at Lee University (okay, it was really Lee College at the time, but "University" sounds so much better!). While there I got my degree in Pastoral Ministry and Shay got her B.A. in communications with teacher certification in French. I studied at the seminary level in Christian Formation and Shay later got her MA in Education from UAB. She is an ESL Instructor at Summerdale School. (You're going to love this, I'm her assistant at Summerdale School.)

As far as ministry goes, I've been children's pastor, youth pastor, children and youth pastor at the same time, associate pastor, administrative pastor and church planter.
