Jesus of Nazareth: Christ / Lead Pastor
When I first began attending St. Barnabas Fr. Miller had painted on our street sign, “Pastor: Jesus Christ.” What drew me into the Episcopal Church in general, and St. Barnabas in particular, is our adherence to this reality. Each week we stand for the reading of Jesus’ words in the Gospel lesson, we remember and celebrate Jesus’ last meal with his friends, and we say historical, prayerful, powerful words together which all point to the presence and significance of the risen Christ in our midst.” – Fr. Mark
The Rev. Mark Bradshaw: Rector / Pastor
Fr. Mark and Katie began attending St. Barnabas in 2010, shortly after they were married and moved to Pasadena. Both previously worked in Christian camping up north in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Together they have three children, August (5) and Lucy (3), and Mae (born 8/8/18). As our half-time Rector, Fr. Mark values the opportunity to care for their three children in addition to our church community. Katie works as the Program Director for Girls On The Run Los Angeles, a non-profit after-school program that seeks to inspire joy, health and confidence in young girls.
Seminary Training: Fuller Theological Seminary (MDiv) and Church Divinity School of the Pacific (Anglican Studies).
Hobbies & Recreation: Running, cycling, the occasional triathlon, ice cream, coffee and Hebrew, with plenty of laughter.
