Bishop Gregg served as the VI Bishop of Eastern Oregon, 2000–2007, resigned, and Bishop Assistant of North Carolina, 2007–2014. We are fortunate to have him with us as our part-time Interim Rector while the parish conducts the search for the next Rector of St. Luke's Salisbury. Bishop Gregg also serves as Affiliate Professor of Systematic Theology at Hood Theological Seminary.

​

Bishop Gregg holds the M.A. and Ph.D. from the University of Notre Dame, M.Div. from Episcopal Divinity School, M.A. Boston College (Medieval English) and a B.A. from the University of Richmond.

​

Gregg met his wife, Kathy, an educator, while at seminary. They celebrated their 48th anniversary on May 28, 2026. After serving parishes in the Dioceses of Virginia and Southwestern Virginia, including time as a school chaplain and lower school teacher, the Greggs took off to South Bend, IN for graduate school at Notre Dame. After 10 years in Indiana, as a grad student and Associate Professor of Theology at St. Mary-of-the-Woods College in Terre Haute, Gregg served his last parish, St. James, New London, CT. From there he was elected the sixth Bishop of Eastern Oregon in 2000. While in Indiana, they adopted their son, Nathan. He and his sons, Kristopher and Braydyn now live in Salisbury.

 

In the Diocese of NC, Gregg has served as Bishop Assistant with responsibility especially for the Charlotte and Sand Hills Convocations. St. Luke’s became the Greggs' parish home when Bishop Gregg retired at the end of January 2014, however he was soon on the move again, and in April 2014 he became the Rector of Iglesia Anglicana San Pablo in San Miguel de Allende, México, where he lived until returning to North Carolina in the Spring of 2018. Bishop Gregg describes the city as, "a wonderful place where we came to know and understand much about the Mexican people and their incredibly long and rich cultures. And our Spanish improved immensely." Bishop Gregg most recently served as rector of St. Thomas Episcopal Church, Reidsville, NC.

 

The Greggs now reside at the cottages at Trinity Oaks here in Salisbury.

Deacon Bonnie has served at St. Luke’s since 2016. As a deacon, Bonnie is called to "interpret to the Church the needs, concerns, and hopes of the world,” and she is to help us connect the church’s message of Christ’s love through the lives we live beyond the church doors. Every deacon has unique calls and gifts but each is called to engage the faithful in ministry by linking the gathered community with the wider community. In her ministry she is directly responsible to the Diocesan Bishop.

​

In addition to her diaconal role, Bonnie became the Coordinator of Older Adult Ministry at St. Luke’s in June of 2024.  In this part-time role she gives oversight to pastoral care, faith formation, fellowship or service projects for older adults in our parish.

​

Ordained as a deacon in 2004, Bonnie has served in this role in two other placements in the diocese before being assigned here. Previously she served as Deacon of the Yadkin Valley Cluster of churches and later as Deacon and Pastoral Associate at Grace Episcopal Church in Lexington. At St. Luke’s she has reactivated the Mission Committee, coordinated the Pastoral Care Committee, and developed the Pathways small group experience. She has facilitated women’s retreats and led Lenten book studies. She loves walking beside people in their spiritual journeys as they wrestle with the questions of life. On the diocesan level she has served on the Bishop’s Committee on the Diaconate, the Liturgical Commission, and as co-chair of both the Commission on Ministry for the Diaconate and the Mission Resource Support Team.

​

Bonnie has a bachelor’s degree in music from Appalachian State University, and she did graduate studies in music composition at Salem College. She attended the Diocesan Deacon School, completed the Education for Ministry program from the School of Theology at The University of the South, was certified as a Stephen Ministry Leader, and has received national certification from the Servant Leadership School and received the Presiding Bishop’s Certificate in Church Music. She is a published composer. She is a widow and has 2 children and 5 grandchildren. She lives in Lexington.

Stephen Williams oversees and encourages the many opportunities for music-making in this wonderful space. He serves in a full-time capacity, coordinating music for services and liturgies of the parish. He plans for, prepares, and conducts the Adult Choir, Choristers, TeenVoices, Evensong Choir, and Canterbury Ringers. He also implements and often performs collaborative concerts and other musical offerings for the community such as the Concert of Remembrance, Advent Lessons and Carols, Noon-Ten Concerts, Christmas Day Organ Noëls,  and the First Friday summer series of organ concerts.  

Stephen studied organ performance, choral conducting, and church music at Brevard College, Westminster Choir College of Rider University, The Juilliard School, and West Chester University. Before coming to St. Luke’s in July of 2022, he was Canon Precentor for Music and Fine Arts at Cathedral Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania for eight years, and Artist in Residence at Moravian University.
