At Trinity, decisions are not made by one person; rather, the members are the heart of what happens and how it happens.
Session and Ministries
Trinity is organized around nine ministries, or committees, working under the leadership of the church Session (or Board). The Session is the governing body of our church, and the elders are elected for 3-year terms. These ministries each have a chair or co-chairs who lead the meetings and can answer questions. We encourage everyone to take part in a ministry. It can be as simple as attending a meeting once a month (or quarter) or can involve heading up part of the ministry, like ushering or a mission project.
Meet Our Staff
Pastor Judith Fulp-Eickstaedt
Lead Pastor
It is a joy and a privilege to serve as the Pastor of Trinity Presbyterian Church. What drew me to Trinity in 2005 was the strong sense of community, the church’s orientation toward service and mission, and the music that expresses our faith and holds the congregation together as it is shared and passed on to the next generation of those who will “sing a new song to the Lord.” I am always interested in hearing what God is doing in the lives of others and what God may be leading them to do in the church and in the world. I invite you to drop by and visit me in the office or contact me to set up an appointment so I can get to know you better and answer any questions you may have about Trinity Church, the Presbyterian denomination, or the Christian faith.
Meet Our Staff
Matt Wheeler
Worship Director
Matt is an award-winning musician who performs regularly throughout the United States and Europe. As a collaborative pianist and organist, he has worked with ensembles such as the Oakland Youth Chorus, Carroll University Concert Choir, the Accompany of Kids Show Choir, and the Kairos Children Choir. He has also directed performances of large-scale orchestral works, including Vivaldi's Gloria. Notably, Matt has performed multiple times for the British Ambassador and other high-ranking government officials at the British Embassy in Washington, DC.
Alan McEwen
Contemporary Worship Leader
As a musician, what drives me most is playing music live. I love working with our contemporary band’s dedicated, talented regular members to do so in praise of God each Sunday. Our current band members achieved their membership status just by continually showing up. In the spirit of Psalm 100, I value enthusiastic musical participation much more highly than virtuosity in our contemporary worship band efforts. My vision for Trinity’s contemporary worship band is to welcome participants of diverse backgrounds, abilities, and ages to lead the congregation in praising our God. Could this include you? Give it some serious thought and come speak with me. Try it out, or just make a commitment to a specific Sunday.
Keeley Harris
Youth Director
I am so excited and honored to join the Trinity family as the Youth Director in January 2024! I grew up in Atlanta, Georgia and was very active as a youth myself in my hometown Presbyterian church. I attended the University of Richmond for undergrad (go Spiders!) and I got my first Master's degree in Ecclesiastical History from 1400-1800 from the University of Oxford. I am currently getting a Masters in Youth Ministry from Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary, which is a part-time program with the Center for Youth Ministry Training. In addition to going to school and collecting Master's degrees, I love reading, singing loudly in the car, and being surrounded by nature. I'm looking so forward to getting to know the entire Trinity community!
Ben Stewart
Director of Spiritual Formation
I joined Trinity’s staff 20 years ago as the Youth Director, a job I loved, but after 14 years of running around the church, my joints couldn’t take it anymore. I was delighted to make the move to Director of Spiritual Formation. I work with the Christian Education Ministry and the Fellowship Ministry to help connect and educate Trinity members. If you can’t find me at Trinity, I’m probably watching rugby or I’m at home with my wife and two boys.
Marcos Vargas
Facilities Manager
I am excited to be part of Trinity Staff as Facilities Manager since December 2023. I have been a local resident of the Northern Virginia area since 1989. I am a business management graduate from Strayer University. In my spare time, I consider myself a soccer and jiu-jitsu enthusiast. I look forward to working with the entire Trinity community!
Kenneth Hadley
Operations Manager
Kenneth hit the ground running quickly at Trinity, moving pews and breaking doors. Kenneth (also known as Ken) has more plans to break down walls, not figurative but literal walls. Ken's office is just by the Narthex Door, and Ken loves nothing more than when people leave lost and found items for him. He also enjoys ceramic sunflowers and walks in the park at night.
Katherine Nichols
C.R.E
Like a Teaching Elder/Pastor, the CRE is commissioned by a presbytery and can perform the pastoral tasks agreed upon by the presbytery and Session of the
congregation where the CRE serves. At Trinity, I am commissioned to be able to lead and participate in worship, visit and maintain contact with the congregation, provide leadership and guidance to the pastoral care ministry, and administer the sacraments, with a focus on pastoral care. I enjoy leading our pastoral care ministry team efforts, co-leading the weekly caregiver’s Zoom call, hosting a monthly luncheon at Goodwin House, reaching out to members through calls, postcards,
letters, and notes, and helping during worship.
