Clergy News: All Saints, Hilton Head Island

All Saints Episcopal Church on Hilton Head Island has called the Rev. Katie Presley to serve as associate rector. Katie is currently serving in the Diocese of Atlanta, where she has worked on staff at All Saints’ Episcopal Church in midtown Atlanta for the past few years. She was ordained to the transitional diaconate by the Rt. Rev. Robert Wright in December 2022 and will be ordained to the priesthood in June 2023.

Katie grew up in Baptist, Methodist, and non-denominational Christian environments until she found her way to The Episcopal Church as a young adult. Captivated by the beauty of the liturgy, the ancient traditions of our Anglican history, and the “broad tent theology” that welcomes and affirms all people as God’s beloved, she embarked upon the journey of discernment for the priesthood and attended seminary at Candler School of Theology at Emory University, where she graduated with a Master of Divinity in 2021.

Katie is also a chaplain in the United States Army Reserves, providing compassionate spiritual care to soldiers and their families. Prior to becoming a chaplain, Katie was enlisted in the U.S. Air Force Reserves for 12 years. Katie is engaged to Aly, a middle school teacher, and they will be celebrating their wedding in May. They look forward to joining the All Saints community, exploring all that Hilton Head has to offer, and creating new and lasting friendships.
