THE REVEREND JOE Hubbard, Rector

Joe Hubbard is the Rector of St. Matthew’s and St. Andrew’s Episcopal Churches in Rapid City, SD, a covenant partnership between Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities of faith. He was ordained to the priesthood on Standing Rock Reservation in North Dakota, and he spent the first two years of his ministry learning alongside the Diné of Navajoland. Joe served as the Vicar of St. Christopher’s Mission and the Ministry Developer and Priest-in-Charge of the Utah Region of the Episcopal Church on Navajoland. Joe is originally from Montgomery, AL, where he founded a regional Civil Rights and Litigation law firm and served in the Alabama House of Representatives.

Joe is a partner in ministry and marriage to his wife of 20 years, Ashley, who serves as the Canon for Formation in the Episcopal Diocese of South Dakota. They are the proud parents of three children, Hill, Hattie, and Hannah, as well as two dogs, Bubba and Bella.

Joe is compelled by a vision for uniting members of diverse communities together in mutual listening and learning as they work to weave their stories together in a shared narrative rooted in the reconciling love of Jesus.
