Rector

The Rev. Megan Limburg became Rector of Trinity and St. Mary’s White Chapel in 2017.

Rev. Limburg, Megan to all, leads not only the two congregations, but also the twice-a-week Line Dancing classes. Megan enjoys including stories and humor in her sermons, as we focus on connecting to and understanding God’s deep love for our world and for humanity. Megan asks us to keep our focus on the call from Jesus to feed the hungry, give water to the thirsty, welcome the stranger, clothe the shivering, care for the sick, and visit the imprisoned.

Megan brings a wealth of expertise, serving as chaplain and counselor at St Christopher’s School in Richmond for 21 years and then Associate Rector of Grace Episcopal in Kilmarnock for three years before being called to our churches.

She is a graduate of the University of Virginia, holding a bachelors degree in Speech Communication and a masters degree in Counseling, and received her masters in Christian Education from Union Theological Seminary in Richmond. She received her doctorate of ministry focused on grief care from Baptist Theological Seminary of Richmond. Megan read for ordination to the priesthood with The Rev. Dr. John Miller and was ordained to the priesthood in the Diocese of Virginia in 2012.

She has served on the board of trustees for the Church Schools of the Diocese of Virginia and as a Fresh Start facilitator for the Diocese of Virginia, and currently serves on the Board of Rappahannock Westminster-Canterbury. She is also the Director of the Upper Lancaster Community Food Pantry.

She and her husband, the Rev. Tim Limburg, live in Kilmarnock. He is a retired Presbyterian minister. You will find Tim most Sundays in the back pew of Trinity wearing blue jeans, and occasionally accompanied by their pup, Mocha.
