Back to About Us

St. Andrew's is blessed with a leadership and ministry team made up of clergy, staff, and volunteers who conduct both the day-to-day activities of the church and support the many facets of its congregational life. Our clergy include a rector, a "worker-priest" and a deacon. Our formal staff includes a minister of music, a church secretary, a treasurer, a chancellor, and a sexton, supplemented by the heads of various committees, commissions, and lay ministries. Our vestry serves as the governing board, and is comprised of 12 members under the leadership of a junior and senior warden.

Rector
Rev. Melinda Archer
We welcomed The Reverend Melinda Archer, formerly of the Diocese of Dallas, as rector of St. Andrew's on October 16, 2005! Bishop Kirk Smith presided at her installation on February 8, 2006. We celebrate her leadership and look forward to the next phase in the development of the ministries of our parish family.
Deacon
Rev. Vicki Lee
Deacon Vicki Lee has been part of the ministry team at St. Andrew's for several years, specializing in hospital ministry and pastoral care. She serves as a hospital chaplain, and is a mentor for the EfM (Education for Ministry) program sponsored by the Episcopal Seminary at Sewanee.

St. Andrew's Staff
Minister of Music
Don Palm
Our "maestro" is a master of organ and keyboard, directing our Chancel Choir in a remarkable variety of musical offerings at our 9:15 a.m. service. Don arranges and composes as well. Our Christmas and Easter services are made even more memorable by the cantatas he selects for the choir to perform each year.
Treasurer
Bryan Reynoso
Bryan is an active teacher and long-term member of our parish family who has taken on the role treasurer, having "apprenticed" with long-term treasurer Ed Comtois for the better part of a year before Ed's passing. Ed left St. Andrew's finances in able hands.
Chancellor
Max Klass
Max is a our "legal eagle", a practicing attorney, former Glendale mayor and one of the founding members of the parish. Like our treasurer, Max has served in virtually every vestry and warden position over the years.
Church Administrator
Beverly Heath
Beverly joined the staff in the spring of 2007, and is rapidly learning the unique ways of the Episcopal Church -- not an easy task!
Sexton
Joyce Fields
Joyce and her family returned to St. Andrew's following an absence of several years as they moved around the country keeping up with Rick's Navy career. With Rick's retirement, they are back once again, and work as a team to ensure our worship and gathering places are kept in good order for all to use and enjoy.
