Our Leadership

As Anglicans, our ultimate oversight in faith, doctrine, and practice comes from our bishops—that is, we are episcopally-led. In addition, we are synodically-governed, meaning the majority of discernment for mission and ministry happens at the local level through a team of ordained and lay people set apart to lead our parish.

The Rt. Rev. Dr. Jeff Bailey | Diocesan Bishop

All Saints Waco’s Executive Team

Michael Funderburk | Rector

Before being called to the priesthood, Fr. Michael taught middle and high school humanities and theology and worked at a non-profit outreach to refugees. After discerning a call to Holy Orders and being ordained to the priesthood, he served as Director of Pastoral Care at Christ Church Plano before being called to All Saints Waco. Fr. Michael enjoys creating space for others to hear how God is already working in their world, and then from that place of attentiveness, guiding them out into the world of others to share the good news of God's Kingdom found in Jesus Christ. When he’s not serving at All Saints, he enjoys books, music, and exploring Cameron Park with his wife, Jana, and their three kids, Gigi, Ruthie, and Luka.

Kathryn Aughtry | Director of Formation & Hospitality

Kathryn loves the work of equipping others in their vocations and callings. As part-time staff at All Saints, she brings administration experience from the worlds of higher education, academic research, non-profit human services, family education and ministry, and church planting. She holds degrees in human development and family studies and is certified as a family life educator. Kathryn enjoys spending time with her family outdoors exploring God’s creation or indoors curled up with some tea and a good read-aloud.

Kristi Noel | Director of Worship

Kristi is passionate about uplifting the voice of the congregation through song. She believes that music not only forms us in rhythms of worship in our daily lives, but has the power to cultivate unity and belonging in the body of Christ. Previously, she served as a worship director in the Assemblies of God as well as spent a year working at a non-profit pregnancy clinic. While at All Saints part-time, she is pursuing a Masters of Church Music at Baylor. She holds a bachelor's degree in Music & Worship from Lee University, where she met her husband, Jarod. Outside of music making, she enjoys drinking tea, kayaking, watching Gilmore Girls with a good paint-by-number, and talking about Portland, Oregon.

Our Parish Council is a group of elected lay leaders who work with leadership to manage the temporal affairs of the church, overseeing its mission, finances, and property.
