Hey y’all! I'm your friendly priest here at Christ Episcopal Church! My pronouns are he/him, I’m proudly gay, and I’m passionate about making the journey of faith exciting and approachable for everyone!
Coming to church for the first time—or the first time in a long time—can feel nerve-racking. And sometimes, Christianity can seem like a puzzle: like trying to explain the Trinity! But Christ’s call to love? That’s crystal clear. At the end of the day, I believe folks will know us Christians by our love. So I strive to make Jesus’ commandment to love my guiding light—and I find great joy being a part of our loving, supportive church family here in Cape! What's the best part of my week as a priest? Definitely sharing in Holy Communion with our church family. It’s that sacred moment when we’re drawn together as the Body of Christ, nourished and fed at the heart of God's love! But you know what else I'd also love? Getting to know you better—maybe over a cup of coffee or a casual walk. Please feel free to reach out to me. For now, may you know that you are holy, made in God's image, and endlessly loved by the Lord. Dear ones: God loves you, and so do I! |
