The Rev. Tom Phillips

Rector
tom@holytrinitymelbourne.org

Tom began as Rector of Holy Trinity in October 2023. He and his wife Julia have two children (Anna and Luke), both currently attending the upper school at Holy Trinity Episcopal Academy. Before being ordained a Priest, Tom ran a residential Bible school for twenty-somethings (Emmausbibleministries.org). He's passionate about the gospel of grace in Jesus Christ, and about the church knowing God as He's revealed in Scripture. His love for Anglican liturgy stems from his childhood, as both his father and grandfather were also Episcopal Priests (it's the family business apparently).

Tom's also an avid cyclist and a wanna-be fisherman. The whole family loves the outdoors and they're slowly chipping away at section hikes along the Appalachian Trail.
