Clergy
The Rev. Nicholas Beasley
Rector
Fr. Beasley became Resurrection's priest in 2007. He ministers with the people of Resurrection as pastor, priest, and teacher. Nicholas takes great pleasure in Resurrection's location in the heart of Greenwood and in the mission-oriented Diocese of Upper South Carolina. A native of Tennessee, he previously served parishes in Greenville, South Carolina and Nashville, Tennessee. After college at the University of the South (Sewanee), he prepared for ordination at Yale Divinity School. He enjoys reading history and theology and just about any activity in the outdoors. Nicholas and his wife Elizabeth, a Spartanburg native, have been married since 2002 and have two children. Nicholas works closely with the Vestry and the committees that guide our ministry in Finance, Pastoral Care, Worship, Strategic Planning and Stewardship. Click here to email Fr. Beasley.
