Interim Youth Directors
Daniel has lived in Columbus since 2013 just after getting married to Lauren. He was brought up and ordained in the Baptist tradition, earning a Master’s in Divinity from McAfee School of Theology in Atlanta, GA. He then completed a residency for chaplaincy at St.
Francis Hospital, and after a few professional twists and turns, has been a full-time chaplain at Columbus Hospice of Georgia and Alabama since 2016. Around that time he and Lauren started attending St. Thomas. Their son Luke was baptized at St. Thomas in 2018, and Daniel was confirmed in 2019. In 2020 he was officially endorsed by the bishop
as a lay chaplain in the Episcopal Church. He experienced significant mentorship at church during his youth days. And so he is excited to be able to pass that gift along, using his skills and education to help the St. Thomas youth grow in their faith.

We know finding a church can be hard. We were all new to St. Thomas once, so let us tell you a little about ourselves.
We are named for the apostle Thomas, whose life was changed when he encountered the risen Christ. His confession of faith, “My Lord and my God,” is printed above our altar.
Like Thomas, we encounter the risen Christ in our life together and find our lives transformed. We invite you to worship, learn, and serve with us.
I'm New
St. Thomas was founded in 1958 and is a congregation of about 400-600 people. A few folks have been here for a long time, but a lot of us are newcomers! Some of us grew up as Episcopalians, some of us came from other Christian traditions, and some of us have no religious background at all!
Who We Are
Welcome! We're delighted you've decided to join St. Thomas Episcopal Church in Columbus, Georgia. We look forward to being in touch with you.
Contact Patty in the church office at [email protected] with questions.
