The Rev. Logan C. Lovelace

The Rev. Logan C. Lovelace became the Rector of Saint Mary's and Saint Stephen's in June 2022. 

Logan earned his Master of Divinity from Virginia Theological Seminary and his Bachelor of Arts from North Park University in Chicago, IL. Logan has been involved in ministry work and leadership since he was in undergrad. From prison to youth ministry, Logan finds it important to try to walk alongside all God's people. Prior to his call to the priesthood, Logan taught English at an alternative high school. 

Logan believes in the power of story, that getting to know people and  building relationships is a vital component of being human and of our call as baptized Christians. Having been an educator, formation is near to Logan's heart. He appreciates good Bible study and figuring out application for God's Word in our lives. Logan believes God is ever present in creation and in all the people we meet. He listens and looks for God in all he encounters.

Logan and his wife, Corey, are excited to call Morganton their home. Corey is a trained classical singer and teachers voice. Both love the outdoors and are devoted hikers and campers. They have two chill cats and one energetic boxer.

When not at church, Logan enjoys exploring new places, eating delicious food, and practicing his photography.
