Answering God's Call to Love and Serve
Who We Are
Our Senior Minister
The Reverend Brad Mullis, Rector
Brad has served as Trinity’s Rector since September 2003. He holds a Bachelor’s Degree from Davidson College, an M.A. in English from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and an M.Div. from Duke University. His M.Div work included a year of study at Virginia Theological Seminary.
You can find Brad lending a hand all across church functions. With his many talents, he leads us from the pulpit, from the choir stall, from the altar, and most of all from his heart.
Brad was ordained in 1996. Prior to coming to Trinity he served at Church of the Nativity in Raleigh, NC. He is married to his wife, Ellyn, and together they have two children, Sally and Charlie.

Heather Scercy
Our Parish Administrator
Heather grew up in Mooresville and moved to Statesville in 2015. She has two children; Connor, 7, and Kade, 3. Her interests include cooking and baking (she was a pastry chef for 10 years) and arts and crafts, especially when she is able to involve her boys. In addition, she is the vice-president of the Parent Teacher Organization at her son’s school and enjoys helping at the school in other ways whenever she gets the chance.
Our Pre-School Director
Julia Steele
Julia grew up in Fayetteville, GA and Baltimore, MD (two very different environments!). She studied photography at Savannah College of Art and Design, where she received her BFA, and at the University of Georgia, where she received her MFA. After finishing school, she discovered an interest in education, both at the primary and secondary level, and worked for two years as an assistant in a Montessori primary classroom. In this environment, Julia worked with children aged 3-6 and found that she loved watching children grow from day one, seeing their interests and friendships blossom, and just being with them and listening to their stories, their interests, and sometimes their grievances. She also taught at the college level for a number of years, mostly photography classes with a little art appreciation sprinkled in.
Julia and her family moved to Statesville in 2022. She has two children, age 7 and 4, with whom she enjoys hiking, biking, and swimming. In her free time, Julia enjoys making pottery, taking photographs, and biking long distances.
Sheena Jones
Our Nursery Caregiver
Sheena has a 16-year-old daughter and an 11-year-old son, and her stepdaughter just had her first child in September. She is currently a teacher's assistant at Third Creek Elementary School and, since January 2020, has been working part time at the Statesville Rec Center. As Sheena says, “I love working with kids.” She has also worked in telecommunications at the Statesville Police Department and at the Sheriff's Office.
