Our pastor, the Rev. Tracy McNeil Wines, joined us in June, 2014 after 19 years at Vale UMC in Oakton, VA. A native northern Virginian, she grew up in North Springfield and graduated from Thomas Jefferson High School. She has a B.A. in Anthropology and Religion from the College of William and Mary and a Master of Divinity degree from Duke.

Tracy's first appointment was to serve as Associate Pastor of Jordanhill Parish Church in Glasgow, Scotland from 1986 to 1988. Since then, she has served the Warren Charge, (three small churches in the Shenandoah Valley), Trinity UMC in Poquoson, Scottsville UMC near Charlottesville, and Vale UMC. Tracy is married to Len and they have two daughters.

One of Tracy's favorite Scripture passages is Colossians 3:14: "Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony". She loves to travel (anywhere!) and to walk on the beach, preferably at sunrise.

Tracy feels thrilled and blessed to serve as pastor of this passionate church and joyfully adds her voice to our chorus of praise to God!
