Staff and Vestry
Reverend Omar Reyes, Priest in Charge
As an ordained Episcopal priest with 7+ years of diverse ministry experience, I am called to lead a creative, loving, and Christ-centered ministry, using my gifts of collaborative servant-leadership, teaching, and preaching to enable personal transformation, guiding people to an enduring relationship with Jesus Christ.
Born in Brooklyn, New York to immigrants from the Dominican Republic, I graduated from Gordon Conwell Theological School and went on to lead a multi-point parish with six churches under my care in Newfoundland, Canada. I now serve St Alban’s Episcopal Church in St Pete Beach, Florida. I am also a graduate of the School of Theology, University of the South and Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary In South Hamilton, MA.
My ministry is guided by:
✤ PRAYERFUL PREACHING: The divine inspiration of the Holy Spirit guides my words in delivering the message of God’s unfailing love and mercy. I reflect prayerfully on scripture, personal life lessons, and the wisdom of biblical scholars and fellow ministers. I seek to communicate with authenticity and clarity, making complex topics understandable and engaging for others.
✤ SPIRITUAL FORMATION & DEVELOPMENT: I am a teacher, mentor, and coach who seeks to guide others toward a deeper and more active faith. I am committed to expanding my own knowledge and capabilities as a minister while identifying individual gifts and talents in others and matching them with the needs of the congregation and larger community.
✤ LIBERATING FAITH: I share God’s message of love to bridge the cultural divide and create a space where all are welcome, loved, and empowered to break the chains of oppression. I am passionate about expanding access to the Episcopal Church for people of color and advocacy for a living wage that allows all people to live in dignity.
✤ EMPOWERING GRACE: God’s example and His Word teach me to love and lead with mercy and grace, celebrating the strengths of others and forgiving their weaknesses.

The Vestry
The vestry is the governing board of the church. Members typically are elected to serve three year terms. At monthly meetings the vestry reviews and takes action on accounting matters, the physical plant, and spiritual well-being of the parish. Working closely with the priest-in-charge, the vestry provides an energized core group who advocate tirelessly for the parish, the community, and beyond.
