Meet Our Rector

Mother Kathleen Kingslight has served as the Rector of St. Barnabas since 1997.  She has oversight for the Christian Formation of the parish including education for youth three years old through high school; youth events; adult education; Baptismal; Confirmation; marriage preparation, Bible studies, spiritual direction and other activities.

She was ordained as a deacon in 1993 and as a priest in 1994.  She was the former Associate Rector at St. Timothy's Episcopal Church in Richland, Michigan.  She has worked in parishes of varying liturgical practices from the rural mountains of New Mexico, the big cities of Texas, to the white collar suburbs of Michigan, among the homeless, with prisoners, the sick, abused, addicts, the dying and with those of many different denominational and faith traditions.

“Ours is an approachable God,” she says.  “Holy Scripture shows us that our God works in the world through human beings, and has promised us in Christ Jesus to be with us always.”

Mother Kathleen was also involved in Kingslight Music, a nation-wide ministry of preaching, teaching and music including workshops in music for the small church, programs for youth, sermons in song, concerts and conferences.
