Clergy & Staff

It is our goal to cultivate a staff team that works together: modeling healthy relationships, accountability, and a spirit of generosity for each other. We are always looking for ways to improve our ministry community and appreciate any feedback that you might offer as we work together.

As staff, we are employed to serve the mission of the church, together with the volunteers members of the church community. We want to work together, creating unity at All Saints’ and discerning God’s desire for us all at this time.
