The Rev. Jason Ingalls
Rector
When I came to Holy Spirit in 2014, I was struck by our parishioners’ love of two things: spiritual growth and local service. My wife Dr. Monique Ingalls and I had lived abroad for five years, where I served small congregations in Toronto, Canada, and two village churches in Cottenham and Rampton, UK. There was something of those small congregations at Holy Spirit that I wanted to tend and water. I love this work because God has been teaching me to slow down and in deeper ways shepherd the souls of this plucky, energetic, wonderful people. Since 2014, Monique and I have welcomed two daughters into our home. If you don’t find me at church, it’s probably because I’m trying to keep up with them!
The Rev. Dr. Larry Adams-Thompson
Priest Associate
A non-stipendiary Priest at Holy Spirit Episcopal Church since August 2022, I bring 25+ years of experience as a senior pastor of theologically and culturally diverse and vibrant congregations, among other responsibilities, as a US Army chaplain. The uniqueness of this calling- shepherding a community both at their workplace and on Sunday - deepened my awareness of the importance of a meaningful and committed Christ-centered community. From my first conversations with Fr. Jason, the Vestry, and the congregation of Holy Spirit, my wife Michele and I have felt such warmth and love from this church family. And that same spirit is earnestly extended to the neighborhood and wider community in living out Jesus’ call to love God and our neighbors through service that’s focused outward. The living, breathing, and joyful sense that each of us matters to God and to one another is experienced in this place.
Shari Pauley
Business Administrator
I began working at Holy Spirit in 2007 after moving from Georgia (via many other states!). I have been an office manager and service coordinator, along with many other hats along the way. Working in a church as a Business Administrator is a little different than what I have done before, but other jobs have given me lots of experience in administration. In my free time, I love to curl up with a good book.
