The Rev. Fr. Trey Garland, Rector
Our eighth rector, The Rev’d Fr. Trey Garland is a native of Houston, Texas, who was ordained in 2002 in the diocese of Texas. He grew up in an Episcopal parochial school, and in high school joined St. Christopher’s Episcopal Church in Houston. He has served in three dioceses (Texas, Upper South Carolina, and most recently Central Florida) as well as the diocese of Durham in the Church of England. His educational background is in theology and music, with a little bit of law. He holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Religious Studies (emphasis in theology) from Alma College in Alma, Michigan, and a Master of Divinity from The University of the South (aka Sewanee). He has been involved with Anglican choral music since a child and was blessed to be able to sing with the University Choir whilst at Sewanee. Though incomplete, his doctoral work in Liturgical Theology at Durham University shaped him as a church liturgist and musician, and he hopes to impart his love of the liturgy and the mysteries it contains to all at St. Paul’s, that they may continue to see how much God loves us and desires us to be drawn to Him.
