LACHLAN STILL

Parish Administrator

From a birth into an evangelical church over in Rhode Island Lachlan made their winding way to All Saints.  The rich history and welcoming community drew them into the church, but the way All Saints knows how to throw a party certainly helped keep them here.  Lachlan did a little bit of everything before starting work here, and does a little bit of everything for the parish now.
