A non-stipendiary Priest at Holy Spirit Episcopal Church since August 2022, I bring 25+ years of experience as a senior pastor of theologically and culturally diverse and vibrant congregations, among other responsibilities, as a US Army chaplain. The uniqueness of this calling- shepherding a community both at their workplace and on Sunday - deepened my awareness of the importance of a meaningful and committed Christ-centered community. From my first conversations with Fr. Jason, the Vestry, and the congregation of Holy Spirit, my wife Michele and I have felt such warmth and love from this church family. And that same spirit is earnestly extended to the neighborhood and wider community in living out Jesus’ call to love God and our neighbors through service that’s focused outward. The living, breathing, and joyful sense that each of us matters to God and to one another is experienced in this place.
