Our Leadership

Clergy

The ministry of a priest is to represent Christ and his Church, particularly as pastor to the people; to share with the bishop in the overseeing of the Church; to proclaim the Gospel; to administer the sacraments; and to bless and declare pardon in the name of God.

The ministry of a deacon is to represent Christ and his Church, particularly as a servant of those in need; and to assist bishops and priests in the proclamation of the Gospel and the administration of the sacraments. - BCP p.856

The Rev'd Andrew Cannan

Rector

Andrew appreciates the diversity of the journeys that bring people to find a home at St. Paul's. He was baptized a Methodist, majored in religious studies at a Baptist university, married a Presbyterian, received a Master of Divinity as a Devil (the blue, basketball-crazed variety), and was ordained in a congregationalist church prior to finding his way as an Episcopal priest. "I was drawn to this strange Church that accepted the messiness of life and embraced it with grace and dignity. That sounded like a place where I could learn to live with God. That and I was always wanted to dress like Johny Cash.” In their downtime, Andrew and his wife, Ashley, enjoy East Carolina evenings in the backyard with their sons. On days off, he likely won’t be found fishing a remote section of the Eastern Pamlico that he is reluctant to disclose.

The Rev'd Skip Walker

Associate Rector

Skip has been serving as Associate Rector at St. Pauls since 2020. He is a graduate of Boston’s prestigious Berklee College of Music and is currently a Doctoral student at Sewanee School of Theology. In addition to serving at St. Pauls, Skip is also an accomplished Jazz musician. You can read more about Skip at his website.

The Rev'd Deacon Bobby Weatherly

Deacon

Bobby Weatherly was born and baptized Presbyterian in Pontotoc Mississippi and lived in Mississippi for his first 71 years. After leaving Mississippi, St Paul’s found him wandering around Greenville looking for a spiritual home. He majored in business and finance at Mississippi State University and worked for an electric utility company serving western MS, moving 7 times in 13 years when his wife Dannie said, “enough moving”. Bobby and Dannie are likely the only couple to move to Port Gibson, MS twice. In 1981, Bobby began a new career of financial planning and investment advisory services located in Vicksburg, MS where Dannie and Bobby lived until moving to Greenville in June 2017. They love spending time with their daughter, grandson, son, and daughter-in-law exploring North Carolina, especially the outer banks. Bobby's recreational interests include swimming and fly fishing when not spending too much time playing online bridge. On Jan. 4, 2003, he was ordained Deacon in the Diocese of Mississippi for the work of servant ministry with all the baptized in this crazy church and beyond.

The Rev'd Drew Baker

Priest Associate

The Rev. K. Drew Baker, M.D. was raised in Vienna, Virginia. He received a B.S. in French and Biology from Hampden-Sydney College and then a M.D. degree from the Medical College of Virginia/Virginia Commonwealth University and a M. Div. degree from the Candler School of Theology at Emory University. He has served parishes in North Carolina, Virginia, South Carolina, and Maine over the past two decades and has also done medical mission work throughout the Caribbean and Central and South America. Drew is very grateful to be part of the ministry team at St. Paul’s. He especially enjoys pastoral care and working with the youth and young adults and families. Drew enjoys spending time with his rescue golden retriever, Emme Joy, traveling, reading mysteries, and exercising.

Staff

The work of the dedicated staff at St. Paul’s is to facilitate and support the ministries of parishioners in key areas of concentration throughout the life of our parish. They oversee areas such as music and Christian formation; they manage day-to-day financial operations; they exercise care for the upkeep of our facilities; and they support communications and the clergy.

"I have had the pleasure of serving as office administrator since just prior to Pentecost 2015.

I love the people of St. Paul’s who touch my life every week.

Vestry

A vestry is what other churches might call a "Church board." The members of St. Paul’s vestry are elected by the parish for rotating three-year terms. The vestry helps define the mission of the Church, supports the Church's mission by word and deed, ensures effective organization and planning, and oversees the resources and finances of a parish. The vestry appoints a treasurer and a clerk from the congregation, in addition to working with the Bishop to call a Rector, a priest and pastor who sits as an ex-officio member of the vestry.

Welcome Life Events/Sacraments Our Leadership The Episcopal Church

Whoever you are, wherever you are on your spiritual journey, and whatever else it is that you seek in a Church community, it is our sincere hope that you find God’s gracious welcome with us at St. Paul’s. In so many ways, we do not all look alike, think alike, or even act alike here. But in one thing we are certain that we are all the same: God graciously welcomes us all.

A Word of Welcome Visitor Card Parking What to Expect

In the Episcopal Church we acknowledge that God is present in every occasion of our lives. Some of these we mark together with special celebrations of worship to highlight the ways in which God is always at work throughout the events of our lives. As Episcopalians, we believe that these observations reveal God's grace to us in new ways.

Baptism Confirmation & Reception Marriage Burial

As Episcopalians, we believe that all baptized people are called to minister in the Church. Everyone has a different role. Our clergy serve as the spiritual leaders of our congregation, our staff is responsible for overseeing our program ministries and day-to-day responsibilities, and our vestry is responsible for parish decision-making.

Meet Our Leadership

We as Episcopalians believe in a loving, liberating, and life-giving God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. St. Paul's is part of the Episcopal Church, a church that is both rich with ancient tradition and relevant to life in the 21st century. We believe that God loves you - no exceptions.

We believe in following the teachings of Jesus Christ, whose life, death, and resurrection saved the whole world.

Our parish's motto is this: "To Know Christ and to Make Him Known."

The Episcopal Church Diversity & Inclusion

Give Online Why Give Annual Commitment

"Each of you must give as you have made up your mind, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to provide you with every blessing in abundance, so that by always having enough of everything, you may share abundantly in every good work."

- 2 Corinthians 9:7-8

Give Now

As Christians, we acknowledge that what God has generously offered us is nothing short of life through Jesus Christ. Participating in that life means learning to generously offer our lives. Each time we gather we are presented with the opportunity to support others in recognition of God’s offerings. This support takes shape in many forms with financial gifts being the backbone that builds our church community and generates opportunities to offer our lives in our parish. All are encouraged to participate in giving money for the ministries of our parish as a sign of our share in God’s work among us and through us.

Annual commitments pledged to St. Paul’s support our operating budget, which directly supports worship, formation, community and global outreach, building and grounds, staff and other programs. Annual commitments are crucial to the work of St. Paul’s. We strive to maintain a balanced budget each year, with every dollar accounted for and put to good use in the people, places and plans of our parish.
