Our Ministers

At All Saints', we have many ministers, because our ministers are our members. We firmly believe that all Christians are called "to represent Christ and his Church; to bear witness to him wherever they may be; and, according to the gifts given them, to carry on Christ's work of reconciliation in the world." (Book of Common Prayer, p. 855) And we invite you to minister with us, as well!

Our Rector (Pastor)
The Reverend Timothy Burger is a native southerner and was educated at the University of Georgia where he received his Bachelor of Arts in English Literature and Philosophy in 2002. He then attended The General Theological Seminary in New York City to receive a Master of Divinity degree in 2005; and was ordained in the Diocese of Atlanta that same year. Prior to arriving at All Saints', he served parishes in New York, Philadelphia and Rhode Island.

Tim lives in Glen Rock with his partner, Greg Lisby (also an Episcopal
priest), their two daughters Leah and Miriam, and their two lovable dogs.

All Saints' Vestry is our leadership board, comprised of our Rector and eleven elected members of the congregation. In addition to handling the business and financial affairs of the church, the main ministry and focus of All Saints' Vestry is to provide spiritual leadership and vision for All Saints'. Our Vestry meets on the third Tuesday evening of each month (except August) at 7:00 p.m in the Parish Hall, and we warmly welcome visitors! Our Vestry members welcome your comments, ideas, and suggestions.
