REV. JOE REGGIN

Part-time Interim/Transitional Pastor

The Rev. Joe Reggin has been hired to be our Part-time Interim/Transitional Pastor. Since Joe will be working with us this year (and, perhaps, a little longer), here is a brief introduction:

Joe was born in St. Augustine, Florida; however, he grew up near the Kennedy Space Center in Sharpes, Florida. He graduated from the University of South Florida with a B.A. in Sociology and from Louisville Theological Seminary with a Master of Divinity degree. Joe also studied at Columbia Seminary in Atlanta and McCormick Seminary in Chicago. He was ordained as a Minister of Word and Sacrament in the Presbyterian Church (USA) in 1981.

Joe has been working exclusively in the field of Interim/Transitional Ministry since 2005. He’s served a total of fifteen congregations in nine different states: ranging from Oklahoma to Pennsylvania to Florida. Joe has also served the church as a Pastor in: New Church Development, Congregational Redevelopment, associate staff with Chicago Presbytery, a Designated Pastor and an Installed Pastor.  He has specialized training in Church Conflict Management and Mediation, is a trainer in Healthy Congregations, and has completed both basic and advanced levels of training in Interim Ministry. 

Joe will begin work with our congregation by leading worship on Sunday, 2 January.  He will soon have office hours posted and will usually be in the Church Office on Sunday, Monday and Wednesday mornings. Joe’s door is always open to anyone who would like to visit; however, scheduling a time to meet with Joe will ensure that you will not have to wait to see him and that he will be in the Church Office if you stop-by.  Joe will also work from his office at his home (where is library is located) and is available via phone most any day and time from 9:00 am to 9:00 pm.  If there is an emergency; however, please call Joe anytime. If you would like to contact Joe, his e-mail address is: ipjoe1147@gmail.com and his Phone number is: (904) 295-2229.

Joe enjoys talking to people who have questions, or disagreements in regard to his sermons; so, please call him anytime you would like to discuss a theological/biblical point. Sometimes, he will even meet to buy you lunch!   Joe will be offering Bible Studies soon as long as there are seven or more people who will participate in person or on-line. (Announcements regarding the first Bible Study will be made soon.) 

Joe is Married to the Rev. Doctor Holly Dillion-Inglis, D. Min. Holly is also a Presbyterian Pastor; currently serving as the Ministry and Mission Coordinator of St. Augustine Presbytery. Those who attended worship (in person or via Facebook) on Sunday, 26 December met Holly when she led us in worship that morning.
