The Reverend Andrew J. Stump, Associate Priest

The Reverend Andrew Stump has served in congregations from Yellowstone to Yale and has been continually shaped by the remarkable breadth of The Episcopal Church, a journey that now continues in our nation's capital. A native of rural Ohio, Andrew holds a Bachelor of Arts in political science and philosophy from the University of Chicago and a Master of Divinity from Yale University.

 
Andrew’s prior parish ministry experience includes Christ Episcopal Church in Cody, Wyoming, where he led formation programs for children, adolescents, and adults. He has also ministered as a hospital chaplain at the University of Virginia and has led courses on the Christian message of The Lord of the Rings for audiences of all ages, counting the works of J.R.R. Tolkien as a primary influence on his own faith.

Once an avowed atheist, Andrew carries a deep empathy for those who wrestle with doubt and spiritual disconnection—particularly youth and young adults—and is passionate about forming faith that is spiritually deep, intellectually honest, and emotionally grounded.

Outside the church, he enjoys weightlifting, reading, trying new foods, and traveling the world with his wife, Eva. He can be reached at andrew@christchurchgeorgetown.org or (567) 215-6074.
