Reverend Mary (Myers) Stewart was born into a Christian home and received the Lord at the age of 4. She graduated the valedictorian of her class and received several scholarships and music awards, including a national award from the Assemblies of God. She attended Evangel College then transferred to the University of Missouri at Columbia to finish her degree and later on received her Master of Science degree in Home Economics with a major in Food and Nutrition. She moved to California to work as a professor at Chico State University, where she also started a Chi Alpha group on campus. She then taught at San Jose State University and assisted her husband in the campus ministry at San Jose State.
She married Rev. Ed Stewart in 1967 and went into full-time ministry with her husband when they moved to San Francisco in 1972 to be the pastors of Community Assembly of God. For 35 years they both provided this church with stable, strong leadership, with their vision leading the church through the purchase and occupancy of two new locations. Pastor Ed went home to be with the Lord on May 9, 2007 and now Pastor Mary is continuing to lead the congregation toward the fulfillment of the vision that the Lord has given to this church. Rev. Mary is a Licensed Minister with the Northern California/Nevada District of the Assemblies of God.

Having taught as a college professor, Pastor Mary has a real concern for young people. The Youth Center has been a burning desire of both Pastor Ed & Pastor Mary, and a high priority is being given to the completion and operation of this great ministry.
Pastor Mary is an excellent teacher, educator and motivator. In addition she is a highly gifted musician and vocalist. Pastor Mary has been faithful to the call the Lord had given to her and her husband as they both served as Pastors of this church for over 35 years. Pastor Mary has never had a casual, laid back attitude toward the things of God, but has always given her best to the work of the Lord. She is a living testimony of courage, sacrifice, hard work, perseverance, and integrity.
