Rev. Marc Trimm, Moderator

Reverend Marc Trimm has had a desire from a very young age for people to learn of the love and goodness that God offers to all. Marc, after preaching his first sermon at the age of 10, realized the passion to touch hearts and transform lives burned inside of him and throughout his life has allowed it to drive him to serve as a media specialist for various ministries, traveling minister, pianist, worship pastor and senior pastor for the last 20 years. In 2003 Marc was licensed and ordained as a Minister of the Gospel and later that year became a senior pastor in which he served for 6 and a half years. Rev. Marc has a Bachelor’s Degree in Theology and various leadership certificates of training. Marc has served as Director of Music at MCCOR since 2013, Interim Pastor in 2017, appointed Associate Pastor in 2018 and currently serves as Senior Pastor. It is his prayer that through music, the messages shared and the love from the family of MCC that all will grow in the knowledge of how much God loves and cares for our world and everyone who visits MCC of Our Redeemer!

George Whelchel, Member at Large

My first contact with MCC was in the late 1970’s at MCC in Tallahassee, Florida. I had the privilege of hosting the founder of MCC, Rev Troy Perry, who was in Tallahassee for the Third Annual Florida Gay Conference on Memorial Day weekend in 1978. I was able to have one on one conversations with Rev Troy Perry which had a very positive impact on me and my acceptance as a gay man in our society. I have been an active participant/member of MCC of Our Redeemer since I moved to the CSRA in 2001. My career has been primarily in banking, financial analysis, mortgages and real estate. I have served in numerous capacities doing volunteer work over the years. My goal now is to do my part in contributing to a safe and welcoming environment for all people who are looking for a Christian Church Home.
