We have a New Priest-In-Charge!

It pleases me to announce that our new Priest-in-Charge is the Rev. Mtipe Koggani. He is the founding pastor of Grace African Christian Connection in St. Louis, Missouri. Rev. Mtipe will start his ministry with us on January 3, 2027. He will be accompanied by his wife, Beverly, and 16-month-old daughter, Genevieve. For the remainder of the year, the Koganni family will be preparing to move to Jefferson City, and Rev. Mtipe will be handing off his responsibilities at his current church.
I had the good fortune to have lunch with Rev. Mtipe and his family earlier this month. The Koggani’s are a lovely family and young Genevieve is such a darling! I am really excited and am looking forward to his ministry with us.
I want to extend my utmost appreciation and gratitude for the hard work of our Discernment Team. I also want to thank everyone of you for being patient with the process. You all kept the faith by continuing to support Grace with your time, talent, and treasure; so thank you all so very, very, much!

Tom Nield, Senior Warden
