On behalf of the Vestry, the Discernment Committee, and the Diocese of Virginia, I am pleased to announce The Rev. Jonathan V. Adams accepted our call as Rector of Trinity Episcopal Church, Upperville. Jonathan’s official start date is July 1, 2020.
Jonathan comes to us from Houston, Texas where he has served as Associate Rector for Pastoral Care and Outreach at St. Martin’s Episcopal Church for over three years. He has had an exciting and varied career serving God overseas, leading student ministries, planting a church in Georgia, and developing new outreach activities at St. Martin’s. The Discernment Committee found him energetic, warm and keenly pastoral, and the Vestry wholeheartedly concurred. We are eagerly anticipating his arrival and the chance for our fellow parishioners to meet him and his family.
The Rev. Jonathan V. Adams
Jonathan is married to Jana and they have three children, Noah, Lily, and Caleb. I know we will welcome them to our church and community.
You will learn more about Jonathan in the next few days. The Vestry already is organizing mailings and social media announcements in an effort to help you get to know him. Jonathan is eager to reach out to all of you and begin to know you as well.
The success of these many months of searching is due to the commitment of the members of the Discernment Committee, the willingness of the Vestry and Jonathan to explore the call in the middle of the pandemic, and the patience of the entire congregation. Louise Crane, Matt Blunt, and I are deeply thankful to all who worked so hard. We are delighted to begin the next chapter in our life at Trinity with The Rev. Jonathan Adams.
