The Rev. Jeremy L. Carlson is an Episcopal priest and serves as the Rector of St. John’s Episcopal Church. Jeremy was ordained in 2018 in the Diocese of Alabama. Before beginning ministry at St. John’s, Jeremy served on staff at St. Mary’s-on-the-Highlands Episcopal Church in Birmingham. Before beginning ordained ministry, Jeremy worked as a lawyer and a teacher. Jeremy holds degrees from The University of the South (M. Div. 2018), The University of Alabama (B.A. 1995, J.D. 2004), and the University of Alabama, Birmingham (M.A. Ed. 1997). Jeremy is married to Laura Carlson; the couple have two remarkable daughters. Away from work, Jeremy enjoys fly fishing, being outdoors, and playing the trombone.
The governing body of St. John’s Episcopal Church is the Vestry, a committee of parishioners elected by the congregation and presided over by the rector. Each member of the Vestry serves a three-year term. From its members two officers are chosen, the Senior Warden and the Junior Warden. The wardens assist the Rector in the conduct of the day-to-day operations of the parish.
As a congregation of the Protestant Episcopal Church, St. John’s comes under the supervision of the Episcopal Diocese of Long Island. The diocesan seat is located at Garden City, NY. The current and eighth Bishop of Long Island is the Rt. Rev. Lawrence C. Provenzano.
