OUR LEADERSHIP
Archbishop Foley Beach
The Most Rev. Dr. Foley Beach served as the Rector and Pastor of Holy Cross Anglican Church in Loganville, Georgia from its founding in 2004. In 2010 he was consecrated as the first Bishop of the Anglican Diocese of the South. After election by the ACNA College of Bishops, he began serving as Archbishop of the province in 2014.
Archbishop Beach is a graduate of Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, the School of Theology at the University of the South, and Georgia State University. He has served in ministry with Young Life, the Episcopal Church, and the Anglican Church. His passion is to share the Word of God in such a way as to help others discover the incredible living Jesus. Married for more than 30 years, he and his wife, Allison, have two grown children and make their home in the Metro-Atlanta area.
Bishop
Steve Breedlove
Bishop Steve Breedlove is the Bishop Ordinary of our Diocese. He and Sally married in 1972 and were blessed with five children, all married now, and (so far!), with twelve grandchildren. They live in Chapel Hill, NC. The Lord has blessed Sally with a ministry of spiritual direction, writing, and speaking, but more than anything, she seeks to know and love the Lord, her family, and her friends. Bishop Steve was a non-denominational pastor for 29 years before becoming an Anglican in 2001. He and Sally planted All Saints Church in Durham, NC, in 2005. In 2012 he was consecrated bishop. Pastoring pastors, teaching God’s word, helping leadership teams unite and grow in strategic mission, developing next-generation leaders, and strengthening local churches in mission, discipleship, and worship are all aspects of a bishop’s ministry where he sees God’s lavish kindness at work.
Rector and Dean of Triad
Tom Bost
Before becoming the planting pastor of Good Shepherd, Tom served for six years with Christ Church in Winston-Salem, assisting two other church plants during that time as well. From 2001-2006, Tom was a staff member of Cru, working on college campuses in Oklahoma and Texas. He studied at Reformed Theological Seminary (M.Div 2010) in Charlotte, served as an Anglican Fellow (2009), and completed the Anglican Missional Pastors program (2011-2012). Tom and his wife Sarah Jane have three sons, and when they have time, they enjoy reading, movies, hiking, and anything involving good food and friends.

​
Our Vestry
The Vestry is a group of church members, who have been confirmed in the Anglican Church. They provide leadership in legal and financial matters and support the Rector in the mission and ministry of the church.
​
Qualifications for serving on the Vestry are comparable to the Biblical criteria for an overseer or elder as found in 1 Timothy 3 and Titus 1, these qualifications being markers of general Christian maturity. Serving as a member of the Vestry is a noble task and a position in the church that carries great commitment and responsibility from both a visible and spiritual perspective. Vestry members are nominated by the church, elected by the Vestry, and serve 3-year terms.
Our vestry is made up of Justin Leonard, Kelly Hale, Nathan Snow, Kathy Allen, and Jamie Dean. Our senior Warden is Nathan Snow, our Junior Warden is Justin Leonard, and our Clerk is Kelly Hale.
