| The Reverend Julia Ashby graduated from Seabury-Western Theological Seminary in Chicago and joined the staff here at ESC in June 1997. Julia is our Senior Associate for Mission and Ministry. She, therefore, has oversight of Adult Christian Education; she is in her eighth year leading a Thursday morning Bible study, a favorite aspect of her work. In addition, she is in charge of the lay eucharistic ministers, who work under the lay leadership of Susan Jones; helps coordinate, train, and support the Healing Ministers of ESC with Joan Shaid, the Healing Ministry Coordinator; and with the help of Susan Buchanan, oversees acolytes. With the able assistance of parishioner Milt Beach, she is also responsible for the training and scheduling of lectors and chalicers. Julia works with our Journey to Adulthood program, including Confirmation preparation and pilgrimages, the Marriage Mentoring program, and our 20's and 30's Group. |

The Reverend Megan Castellan, our Curate, spent many of her formative years in Hampton Roads. Since then, she has lived and worked in Atlanta, Los Angeles, East Jerusalem, New York City and Williamsburg. She is a graduate of the College of William and Mary and the General Theological Seminary. As curate, Megan is lucky enough to do a bit of everything, but much of her time is spent with the young adults, and with the outreach ministries. |

Our clergy share in leading worship, preaching, crisis counseling, weekday Parish Day School chapel services, hospital and home visits, teaching, pre-marital counseling and presiding at weddings and burials. They also offer leadership in the Diocese and the Tidewater community.
