Associate Rector for Pastoral Care
Roxane is grateful for the evolving journey she's taken through Lutheran, United Methodist, and house church settings, and for landing in The Episcopal Church in 2004. She received her MDiv from Duke Divinity School (concentration in Gender, Ministry, and Theology) and her STM from General Theological Seminary. Ordained to the priesthood in 2011, she has served parishes in the Dioceses of New Hampshire, North Carolina and Atlanta.
Roxane is grateful for the gifts of time and energy to spend in these ways: conversation with God, guided meditation and dreamwork, hiking and woods/yard work, reading with or without a purpose, yoga, learning about diverse spiritualities, two young Aussiedoodle pups, and tending relationships. She is continually on a quest to figure out how to use her incarnation as a launching pad for serving and contributing to the healing of God's good world.
Roxane is grateful for the support and love of siblings, friends, colleagues, a daughter who lives in Asheville NC, and a son, daughter-in-law, and two happy toddler grandsons who live in Chapel Hill NC.
And she's grateful for the opportunity to live among and minister to the good people of St. Thomas as pastor and priest.
We are a church of loving, committed and searching Christians who value diversity and cherish the gifts of young and old alike. We welcome ALL God’s children into our sacramental community, respecting the dignity of every person as we are called to a ministry of reconciliation and inclusion. You are welcome here as God’s own.
Like the apostle Thomas, we encounter the risen Christ in our lives together and find ourselves transformed.
We invite you to worship, learn, and serve with us!

We know finding a church can be hard. We were all new to St. Thomas once, so let us tell you a little about ourselves.
We are named for the apostle Thomas, whose life was changed when he encountered the risen Christ. His confession of faith, “My Lord and my God,” is printed above our altar.
Like Thomas, we encounter the risen Christ in our life together and find our lives transformed. We invite you to worship, learn, and serve with us.
I'm New
St. Thomas was founded in 1958 and is a congregation of about 400-600 people. A few folks have been here for a long time, but a lot of us are newcomers! Some of us grew up as Episcopalians, some of us came from other Christian traditions, and some of us have no religious background at all!
Who We Are
It is easy to join St. Thomas as a member. Just tell us you want to belong, and we'll enroll you as a baptized member of the congregation. If you've never been baptized, contact Rev. Grace to schedule a time for Holy Baptism. We look forward to being in touch with you.

Rolling Out the Welcome Mat: St. Thomas 2024 Ministry Offerings
Each August, we invite parishioners to sign up for different ways to learn and serve together through our annual Ministry Offering. This online form lists many ways to serve and participate, and they all have to do with welcome!
How might you help St. Thomas extend our welcome in the coming year?
When the Nave and Chapel of St. Thomas were dedicated in 1972, the congregation knew they had built a space for more than themselves.
They did this for future members of St. Thomas. This did this for the wider community. They did this for us and for all who will come after us.
