The Rev. Dr. Roy A. Cole, Pastor and Priest-in-Charge

Nick
In my youth I was Episcopalian, and there learned many things about God that I will always cherish. I loved the youth group, and I volunteered with projects that helped kids and the poor. Going to church was one of my favorite times of the week. I grew. But I did not stay the same ...

Gary
I grew up Catholic, went to 12 yrs of Catholic schools, converted to Eastern Orthodoxy at age 18. I then spent 27 years in an Orthodox monastery which I left in 2000.

Fr. Matthew John Moretz
My faith journey began at the Church of the Good Shepherd while being raised in Augusta, Georgia. I had some excellent mentors as an adolescent. I discerned a call to the priesthood during and after my undergraduate at Davidson College. I am married to Melanie, a student at Fordham University.

Mary
I was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY, was educated in the Catholic School system, my parents were devoted Catholics and truly loved and were loyal to their Church. So was I.

Janice
The Book of Ezra is about rebuilding the house of God and my decision to join the Ezra project, made a little over a month ago, was based on the word ‘rebuild’, a word that to me says that we will be working hard.

Stephen
I grew up in the Episcopal Church and as a child I loved its rich, vibrant worship. As a teenager, though, I was drawn to Christian groups that emphasized a personal conversion experience and a literal interpretation of Scripture.
