The Rev. Karla Marie Woggon, our rector for the past nine years, was married in May, 2007 and accepted a call to Ascension parish in Hickory, NC. We are blessed to have The Rev. Bruce McPherson as our Priest-in-Charge while St. Andrew's undergoes a search for a new rector. For many years it has been his vocation to serve congregations that are in the midst of change and to help in that discernment process.

The Rev. Luther Zeigler is our part-time priest associate. Ordained to the priesthood in January 2008, Luther was educated at Oberlin College, Stanford University, the University of St. Andrews (Scotland), and Virginia Theological Seminary. He served this parish as seminarian in 2004-06.
