Interim Rector | Fr. Kevin Wittmayer
I am excited to be at Trinity Episcopal Church in Marshall as the Interim Rector. My wife
Pamela and I look forward to being a part of the Trinity family.
I grew up in Cedar Falls, Iowa and went to college in Tulsa, Oklahoma. In college I
obtained a undergraduate and graduate degrees in Business Administration. After an
eight-year career in banking I went to Virginia Theological Seminary in Alexandria,
Virginia and was ordained in 1991. After a three-year curacy in Oklahoma City my wife
and I started a church in Yukon, Oklahoma a bedroom community of Oklahoma City
with ten people in our living room. I served that church, Church of the Savior for nine
years. I then served as the rector of Trinity Episcopal Church in Longview for fourteen
years before serving as the school chaplain at All Saints Episcopal School in Tyler,
Texas for five years.
My wife Pamela is a C.P.A. We met in college and have been married for forty-five
years. Pamela retired in June 2022 as the Chief Financial Officer for Trinity School of
Texas in Longview. We have two daughters and four grandchildren. Our eldest
daughter Kristel and her three children live in Longview. Our youngest daughter Melissa
who lives in the San Diego area is married and has one son.
In the summer of 2012, while on sabbatical, I walked 500 miles across northern Spain
on the Camino de Santiago Compostela. Pilgrimage is a significant part of my spiritual
life and this trip was one of the top highlights of my life. I have made Christian
pilgrimages to the following destinations: Jerusalem, Rome, Canterbury and Mt. Athos
(the spiritual center of Eastern Orthodoxy). I hope to walk a path of Celtic Christian
pilgrimage in the future walking from Iona, Scotland to Holy Isle in Lindisfarne, England.
