Anne Turner is the 12th rector of Grace Church. She is passionate about Grace's work of inclusion, mercy, belonging, and transformation for all people. She came to Grace after two decades of ministry in churches in Virginia and Massachusetts. She has also worked at Virginia Theological Seminary, where she continues as adjunct faculty for preaching courses.

Anne holds a Doctor of Ministry in preaching from Emory University and a Master of Divinity from Yale. Prior to ordination, she was a Fulbright scholar, researching race and Shakespeare's plays; she also worked in educational outreach for the Folger Shakespeare Library. She has been published in the Sermons That Work series, The Christian Century, and Currents in Theology and Mission. Her writing can be found at annemturner.com.

Anne finds joy and solace outdoors, where she skis, runs, backpacks, and watches birds. She is terrible at small talk but loves engaging in big questions, and she welcomes conversation about her ministry, the community that is Grace Church, and the mysteries of life.

Mother Emma A.W. Brice (pronouns are she/ella) serves as our Assistant Rector and School Chaplain. She focuses her ministry on the formation of children, youth, and families, as well as on fellowship, worship, and pastoral care. She also serves as the chaplain for Grace Episcopal School and teaches religion classes to Kindergarten through Fifth Grade.

Mother Emma grew up in northern Virginia as a life-long Episcopalian. She discovered her love for liturgy and sacred music at a young age by serving as an acolyte and chorister. Mother Emma graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Cultural Anthropology from Duke University and a Master of Divinity from Yale University. Prior to seminary, she lived in Muscat, Oman working at an interfaith peace-building center.

Mother Emma loves the outdoors - hiking, backpacking, running, laying on the ground and watching clouds…all of it. She is a huge Taylor Swift fan, an expert jigsaw puzzler, and an aspiring bread baker. Mother Emma and her wife are proud mothers to a smart, curious, playful, and kind one-year-old Portuguese Water Dog named Tetiana, who can often be found begging for treats in the church office. 

Kevin Hamilton (he/him) serves as the Director of Operations and Communication.  Managing the church office, Kevin oversees administration, business operations, facilities oversight, and communications outside of digital/social media (including bulletins, website, email communications, etc.).

Kevin's formal training was ministerial and he has served for over 25 years in ministry, 21 of those as an ordained bi-vocational minister.  Kevin continues to be a church planter on the weekends, but here at Grace his role is non-clergy related and focused solely on operations.  Before coming to Grace, Kevin was a Project Manager for CDW-G on the Decennial Census Device as a Service project. Prior roles for other organizations include Director level positions in Internal Communications, Organizational Development, and Operations.  Kevin lives in Centreville, Virginia with his husband, Luke Le Nguyen, his mother, Linda Hamilton, and their two cats, Boba and Mocha.  Kevin loves to read, nerd out on theology and storytelling podcasts, watch random documentaries, and laugh (often and loudly)!
