Luke and Michelle Stewart serve as the campus pastors of VIVE San Jose, bringing together a unique blend of global perspective, entrepreneurial spirit, and deep passion for seeing people discover their God-given purpose. Luke's roots are in Baltimore, and Michelle's upbringing spans across the UK, Nigeria, Australia, and China. Before stepping into ministry, Michelle practiced law for nearly a decade, specializing in corporate and startup law, while Luke is currently bi-vocational, leading his own health-tech startup while pastoring—embodying the entrepreneurial heartbeat of Silicon Valley.

The Stewarts are captivated by San Jose as the heart of Silicon Valley, where life, potential, and world-changing innovation are constantly being birthed. Nestled against the stunning backdrop of the Santa Cruz Mountains with vibrant cultural diversity, San Jose represents endless possibilities. They believe this city, where so many come to build the future, is the perfect place to help people discover their spiritual foundation and eternal purpose. Michelle also serves as executive director of Hope Hangar and New Creation Home Ministries, VIVE Church's outreach arms, ensuring the church makes a tangible difference in the community throughout the week.

As parents to three daughters, Luke and Michelle are passionate about seeing people find their purpose, connect with authentic community, and build strong foundations for life—whether you're a founder, professional, or simply looking for community in this incredible city.
