Rev. Keith is originally from Torrance, California. Baptized in 1977 at St. Mary’s Episcopal Church in Los Angeles, he spent a year at the Ecumenical Seminary in Matanzas, Cuba, before completing an M.Div. at The General Theological Seminary in New York. He was ordained to the priesthood in 1998 and has been at St. Mark’s in Upland since 2009. Rev. Keith’s vision for St. Mark’s is for it to be a center of prayer and social justice, and he aims to offer a transformative worship experience every Sunday. He says, “I love working together as a community to build up God’s heaven here and now for all people.” He invites us all to “share our first and best for God.”
