Catherine Craley is passionate about inviting youth and adults to discover what Jesus is doing in their lives. She invites everyone to participate in bringing God's love to the world.
Catherine began serving as the Pastor of Trinity Presbyterian Church in 2017 after spending 10 years serving two wonderful congregations…Sardis Presbyterian Church in Charlotte, North Carolina and Round Rock Presbyterian Church near Austin, Texas. Catherine attended Grove City College and has a Master of Divinity Degree and a Doctor of Ministry Degree in Reformed Christian Spirituality from Pittsburgh Theological Seminary. She did her doctoral research on the ancient Celtic Christians and our own experiences of Christ’s presence in creation. She is currently a member of the President's Roundtable for Louisville Theological Seminary.
In 2017, Catherine and her high school Winter Formal date Rocky moved back to their hometown of New Wilmington (Go Hounds!) to live their “Fixer Upper” dream of buying and renovating the family farm. They have been married for almost 20 years and are now the 5th generation owners of the Wilson family farm. Catherine and Rocky have a Blue Heeler/Skye Terrier rescue mutt named Luna who runs farm security and welcomes no one (you’ve been warned)!
Catherine is a proud 4-H'er, loves traveling with Rocky, and enjoys watching movies and football. She is an avid gardener and member of the England's Royal Horticultural Society. Catherine is a risk-taker and has been known to eat raw cookie dough and prune roses without gloves.
She and Rocky love being aunt and uncle to Heather, Claire, and Violet and feel so blessed to be a part of such an amazing family and church family. She has no athletic abilities whatsoever.
