The Rev. Greg Pickens, Associate for Pastoral Care, Announces Retirement From Full-time Ministry In July 2025.
The Rev. Greg Pickens, Associate for Pastoral Care at Saint Michael, is retiring from full-time ministry in July 2025. Fortunately, after retirement, he will continue to call Saint Michael home and share his gifts with “Joy! A Children’s Service.”
During his 13 years at Saint Michael, Greg served in a number of roles, including Associate for Children, Youth, and Family Ministry; Director of Operations; and Associate for Pastoral Care. Greg’s steadfast loyalty to Saint Michael has undeniably strengthened our parish. We appreciate his trustworthy listening ear, sharp wit, and excellent organizational skills.
Greg will continue in his current full-time role as Associate for Pastoral Care through July 2025 when, at that time, he will transition into the role of Sunday Assistant, primarily leading “Joy! A Children’s Service.”
We're sharing this information with you now because in the coming weeks, we will be launching a search for a new Associate for Pastoral Care. Our hope is that this individual will begin in fall 2024 and work closely with Greg and other pastoral care staff to ensure a seamless transition in July 2025.
We thank God for Greg's ministry at Saint Michael and rejoice that he will continue ministry with us on Sunday mornings.
