Andy Casto-Waters, Acting General Presbyter
I am your contact for all matters related to supporting and resourcing your congregation or New Church Development! My primary goal is to ensure that our ministries are able to live into the calling to which they have been called. I am also available to preach, teach, or speak to your congregation or group on a variety of topics related to innovation in the Church. Finally, I am your contact for pastoral transitions and all matters related to property.

Sarita Morris, Presbytery Coordinator
I am the person you hear when you call the Presbytery! I work with all our churches to ensure that their gifts to the Presbytery are processed and accounted for properly. I work with Therese, and all our Presbytery Ministry Units to make sure their work is known throughout the Presbytery and that all our work is coordinated and properly documented!
