Hi, I’m Rife…

and my wife Shay and I founded Destiny Church in January 2007.  I’ve been in ministry since 1991 after graduating Lee University, a Christian liberal arts school.  I also attended the Church of God Theological seminary.  I have served as youth, children’s and administrative pastors before planting Destiny.  I also helped plant a church in Atlanta, Georgia in the mid-1990s which gave me a lot of experience to launch Destiny.

I married my childhood sweetheart, Shay.  We really are best friends! We attended Bible college together and have two incredible children, Savannah and Noah.  And we love pastoring the family at Destiny Church.
