Meet Our Clergy
John Schmidt
Interim Priest in Charge
John graduated from Furman University with a B.A. in Studio Art, spent the next four years in Washington, D.C. serving a parachurch youth ministry, and completed his M.Div. from Duke Divinity School, culminating in ordination in 2018. He spent the following two years serving in North Dallas, TX in suburban and rural contexts and eventually found his way to New York and All Angels’ Church. John is excited to continue exploring the intersection of theology and the arts, and he hopes that all might come to know that they are fully loved and fully known by God.
Jimmy Lawrence
Associate Priest
Jimmy moved to NYC with his wife Hannah in August 2019 and started attending All Angels’ as parishioners. Jimmy was ordained in the Church of England in 2016 and after three years serving a parish in North Yorkshire started a PhD at the University of Oxford, UK. Jimmy joined the staff in March 2020 and now serves by supporting John in his ministry with a particular focus on Sunday services and discipleship.
