The Reverend Laura J. Masterson
​RECTOR
Laura attended the Seminary of the Southwest and began her ministry at St. Mary and St. Martha in August of 2021. Having experience in education in her past vocation, she recognizes the value of every interaction in community. She has a passion for mobilizing the body of Christ to go where few go. She emphasizes the need for formation and energy among the laity and has a heart for care and
​mission...and belly laughing.

VESTRY

What is the vestry?
In short, the Vestry guides and supports the people. While "Vestry" is an old English term, its value is essential to the life of any Episcopal parish. Meeting once a month and around a meal, our Vestry makes decisions about resources and finances, always leading as followers of Jesus. Everyone is invited to attend a Vestry meeting. Want to know more?
