St. John's Episcopal Church welcomes Pastor Tammy Young as our new Priest in Charge!

Although ordained a Priest in the Episcopal Diocese of NJ in 2019, Reverend Tammy Young + has been serving the Church for over four decades.  She brings to ministry a life-long passion for Gospel justice, social advocacy, and Christian formation where she strives to help make God’s Word a reality in the daily lives of disciples of all ages. 

Before entering the General Theological Seminary, where she graduated with honors cum laude, Tammy served as the Director of St. Mark’s Center for Community Renewal, a daily feeding program and social service resource center in Keansburg, which served over 6,000 monthly meals and countless hours of Christian fellowship to community residents.  There she was blessed to both build and work alongside an interfaith and community network of over 125 organizations – all come together to help God’s people better their lives through empowerment and support.   As the Center’s Director and forty-year veteran of Christian youth education, one of her greatest joys was helping young disciples use the image of God within themselves to see and to love the image of God within others. 

Before coming to St. John’s, Tammy joyfully served as the Chaplain for Fellowship Village in Basking Ridge, New Jersey. In her spare time, Tammy enjoys studying Hebrew Scripture and loving on her two housecats, St. Francis and St. Clare.
