2024 Candidate for Lay Representative to the High Plains Region Executive Committee

Trevor Hart – Lay Leader Christ’s Episcopal Church

After being appointed to the Executive Committee, I am excited to stand for a full term as an elected member. I look forward to participating in the continued growth of the High Plains Region to be more than a grant making body, as important as that is, to more fully implement our strategic vision. A key element of this vision is supporting both existing congregations and “church plantings”.

During my term on the Executive Committee, my goals will include providing pastoral support and leadership development though workshops and other training events; coordinating mission events with multiple congregations; and encouraging contact between lay leadership.

I am a member of Christ’s Episcopal Church in Castle Rock. I am currently responsible for coordinating lay involvement in liturgy.

I have recently retired from running an environmental consulting firm. My hobbies include music, reading, gardening, hiking, and, most importantly, spending time with our granddaughters, Sofie (9) and Juliet (4).
