Tom began as Rector of Holy Trinity in October 2023. He and his wife Julia have two children (Anna and Luke), both currently attending the upper school at Holy Trinity Episcopal Academy. Before being ordained a Priest, Tom ran a residential Bible school for twenty-somethings (Emmausbibleministries.org). He's passionate about the gospel of grace in Jesus Christ, and about the church knowing God as He's revealed in Scripture. His love for Anglican liturgy stems from his childhood, as both his father and grandfather were also Episcopal Priests (it's the family business apparently).

Tom's also an avid cyclist and a wanna-be fisherman. The whole family loves the outdoors and they're slowly chipping away at section hikes along the Appalachian Trail.  

Please join Holy Trinity in welcoming the Rev. Daniel McCarley as the newest member of our Holy Trinity clergy team. Daniel is joining us August 18th as our full-time Resident Associate Rector. He's currently serving as Priest Associate for children's, youth, and family ministry at St. James Episcopal Church in Texarkana Texas, where he also serves as the chaplain for the St. James parish day school. He has a tremendous heart for evangelism, a desire to form disciples around Scripture, and a clear vision for ministry in Melbourne. Did I mention that his fiancé, Virginia, is a Melbourne native, whose parents live in Indialantic Beach! Welcome home Virginia!

Daniel earned a BA in Biblical and Theological studies from John Brown University, an MDiv. from Beeson Divinity School, and a certificate in Anglican studies from Wycliffe College Toronto. His position is funded in part through a partnership with the diocese of central Florida's residency program (https://cfresidency.org/#about). The Residency program is specifically designed to put talented young clergy into positions of influence and leadership in large and flourishing churches in our diocese. The resident serves as associate rector, for a three-year call, during which he is responsible for engaging in every aspect of parish ministry. Rejoice with me in God's good provision in sending Daniel to worship and minister among us.
