Pastor Lewis died June 21 at his residence. He was born Feb. 13, 1970, in Hammond, Louisiana, to David S. Lewis and Elizabeth Posey Lewis. He trusted Christ as his Savior at the age of 6. After graduating from high school in Lewisville, Texas, in 1988, he attended college at Pensacola Christian College.  

Shortly after graduating from Bible college in 1992, Shane and Joy were married. They traveled as college representatives for PCC for two years before he began pastoral ministry.
Through the years, God blessed Shane and Joy with five children – Whitney, Zachary, Christian, Autumn and Reagan – and one son-in-law, Johnathan. The children and Joy were always his greatest priority.  

In 2004 he earned a masters degree from Pensacola Theological Seminary, and in 2011 he earned an honorary doctorate from Pensacola Christian College. He served in churches in Mississippi, Virginia, Michigan and Texas before moving to Alabama in 2004.

of the church. A few of the outreach ministries that have begun during the past 16 years include Somerville Baptist Learning Center, Reformers Unanimous, Drive Thru Christmas, Awana, Hope Radio, Hands and Feet Ministry, Faith Bible Institute, Divorce Care, Grief Share and the Filipino National Pastor’s Project.  

Currently, the Hope House, a ministry designed to help men transition from correctional facilities back
into the local community, is being completed 

He lived with a passion to reach people for Christ in whatever way possible. He had become a favorite speaker at churches, conferences and camps all over the country. He was a gifted communicator, making deep truths easy to understand and apply.  

Shane was a constant encourager and dear friend to people all over the world. He passionately loved his family, church and community.  

For a time he served as the Priceville Fire Department chaplain.  

His friendship, leadership and gifts will truly be missed by so many.
