Pastor

We are blessed with our Pastor Dorothy Gremillion to lead and share in our ministry for Christ most Sundays. She brings strong faith, spiritual formation and teaching to Holy Cross as we pursue more outward momentum in mission.

Pastor Dorothy brings a passion for the Body of Christ to be at peace with itself, so that it can more readily extend God’s love and grace to those beyond the church walls.  Her prayer life has been deepened partly by being an Associate of the Holy Cross, an Episcopal Benedictine Monastic Order.  Prayer guides her ministry and life.  Her favorite part of ministry is listening to church members, finding God in them, and creating something to address a discipleship facet where they are.

Pastor Dorothy earned her Master of Divinity in 2000 from the Episcopal Theological Seminary of the Southwest here in Austin, after contributing in ministry as organist and choirmaster for many years in Lake Charles, LA. She has served as Priest-in-Charge, Rector, and Interim Rector for several churches in Louisiana, New Mexico, and Texas. 

It is her belief that the Lord is leading and guiding us in every moment and in every situation, even amid the difficulties of our day.  Our challenge lies in deep listening, praying, and communal discerning, while stepping out in faith before knowing the answers.
