The Church of the Saviour Calls a New Rector:
The Reverend George C. Wong
The Reverend George C. Wong has accepted the call as the rector of The Church of the Saviour. His first Sunday was on July 23rd, 2017.
“I am thrilled to have been elected rector of The Church of the Saviour. I am drawn to the church because it finds great joy and meaning in the liturgy, engagement with the community and in many expressions of fellowship. I was deeply impressed with the resilience and resourcefulness of the COTS community as they embody the love of God both inside and outside the church walls. I am excited to join with the parish in building upon this long-standing way of being in the world.”
“We are very excited that George has decided to accept the call as our next rector. His business experience, engaging preaching, strong interpersonal skills, and desire to connect with the community make him a strong fit for the people of The Church of the Saviour,” added the Senior Warden, Marie Cavaliere.
George was ordained as an Episcopal priest after a career in corporate finance and international business development. After earning his BA in Economics and English, and an MBA from UCLA, he worked for a number of Fortune 500 companies launching European and Asian media ventures. He found it especially rewarding to build teams and relationships with partners holding a wide range of perspectives and hailing from diverse corporate and cultural backgrounds. He adds: "The experience of carefully listening for common hopes, interests and developing realistic goals has been helpful in the church world."
After graduating from Virginia Theological Seminary and following his ordination at the Cathedral Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul (Washington National Cathedral), George served at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church in Bethesda, Maryland as a Lilly Foundation Ministry Resident. Most recently, he was rector of Holy Trinity Church in Ocean City, New Jersey. George is “very much looking forward to his first service on July 23rd and is excited about beginning life together in ministry.”
