Meet The Rector
The Rev’d Chris Epperson served in parishes in
Johnson City, Tennessee, and Atlanta, Georgia, before becoming rector of St.
Columba’s in Lent of 2006. Father Chris is a graduate of the General
Theological Seminary in New York City, where he earned his M.Div degree. He
has a B.S. in psychology (with a minor in economics) from the University of
Tennessee.
Chris met his wife, Laura, at an Episcopal camp, where they were
working with economically disadvantaged children. They married in 1997, and
have two children: Zaven was born in May 2003, Nell in November 2006. Laura
is a print production manager at Roger Williams University.
A passionate reader, the rector enjoys leading book-discussion groups. He is
also a serious runner, and a “hopeless student”—in his words—of the guitar.
Chris worked in his family’s jewelry manufacturing business until he decided
to enter the ministry.

“The Eternal Pursuit,” as well
