Clergy

Rev. Martin Geiger

The Rev. Martin Geiger has been called as our Priest-in-Charge. We'd like to thank everyone for your patience and help through the search process.

Martin previously spent four years as the Assistant Rector of Christ Church in Winchester, and still lives in Winchester. Before seminary, he served with the Episcopal Service Corps in St. Louis, working with churches and non-profits there. He grew up in Champaign, Illinois and his parents are looking forward to making trips out to Virginia to explore the Delaplane area with him. He studied at Cornell University and Virginia Theological Seminary. Outside of church life, his favorite things include mysteries, hiking, board games, and all forms of dessert.

Martin is very excited to continue his work at Emmanuel and to continue to get to know the parish and the wider community. He can be reached via email at martin@emmanuel-delaplane.org, the church office at 540-364-2772. His regular office schedule will be Tuesday-Friday, with Mondays off.

Andy joined our staff as sexton in December of 2018. He is local to our community and brings with him a background of hard work and years of experience taking care of church properties. His positivity and "can do" attitude are just two of his inspiring qualities.

Treasurer

Kathy Baumgartner

Kathy was born in Everett, Washington, but, growing up, she lived in many different places. After graduating from the College of William & Mary with a BBA in Accounting, she moved to Leesburg. For over thirty years, she has worked for a small real estate development company, overseeing the administration, property management and finance/accounting/tax areas. It was not until coming to Delaplane and Emmanuel that she has felt like she has a home, a sense of community and a special place to share her faith. "Our church and our congregation are my anchor. I am truly blessed to have found my way here."
