At Trinity, decisions are not made by one person; rather, the members are the heart of what happens and how it happens.
Session
Trinity is organized around nine ministries, or committees, working under the leadership of the church Session (or Board). The Session is the governing body of our church, and the elders are elected for 3-year terms. These ministries each have a chair or co-chairs who lead the meetings and can answer questions. We encourage everyone to take part in a ministry. It can be as simple as attending a meeting once a month (or quarter) or can involve heading up part of the ministry, like ushering or a mission project.

Meet Our Staff

Judith Fulp-Eickstaedt
Pastor
It is a joy and a privilege to serve as the Pastor of Trinity Presbyterian Church. What drew me to Trinity in 2005 was the strong sense of community, the church’s orientation toward service and mission, and the music that expresses our faith and holds the congregation together as it is shared and passed on to the next generation of those who will “sing a new song to the Lord.” I am always interested in hearing what God is doing in the lives of others and what God may be leading them to do in the church and in the world. I invite you to drop by and visit me in the office or contact me to set up an appointment so I can get to know you better and answer any questions you may have about Trinity Church, the Presbyterian denomination, or the Christian faith. If you are visiting our website for the first time, I hope you will come visit us for worship.

Carol Feather-Martin
Traditional Worship Leader
I joined the Trinity staff in 1990. To paraphrase a poster I saw many years ago, "Who says music for traditional worship has to be stuffy?" Music for traditional worship at Trinity is quite varied and can range from early music to jazz to recently composed. If it's quality music, it has a place in worship in a prepared surrounding. Auditions are not required to participate in any music group, only an eagerness to learn and share your collective talents. We nurture participants in a small group ministry. The rehearsal space is filled with laughter and fun on a weekly basis.
When I'm not at Trinity, I'm surrounded by furry companions large and small. Some of my time is spent gardening, reading, working puzzles (jigsaw/crossword/etc.), and creating metal jewelry. I enjoy creating sacred music with people of all ages. Teaching people to sing/ring/play instruments and empowering them to share their talents is a blessing for the entire community.

Alan McEwen
Contemporary Worship Leader
As a musician, what drives me most is playing music live. I love working with our contemporary band’s dedicated, talented regular members to do so in praise of God each Sunday. Our current band members achieved their membership status just by continually showing up. In the spirit of Psalm 100, I value enthusiastic musical participation much more highly than virtuosity in our contemporary worship band efforts. My vision for Trinity’s contemporary worship band is to welcome participants of diverse backgrounds, abilities, and ages to lead the congregation in praising our God. Could this include you? Give it some serious thought and come speak with me. Try it out, or just make a commitment to a specific Sunday.

Keeley Harris
Youth Director
I am so excited and honored to join the Trinity family as the Youth Director in January 2024! I grew up in Atlanta, Georgia and was very active as a youth myself in my hometown Presbyterian church. I attended the University of Richmond for undergrad (go Spiders!) and I got my first Master's degree in Ecclesiastical History from 1400-1800 from the University of Oxford. I am currently getting a Masters in Youth Ministry from Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary, which is a part-time program with the Center for Youth Ministry Training. In addition to going to school and collecting Master's degrees, I love reading, singing loudly in the car, and being surrounded by nature. I'm looking so forward to getting to know the entire Trinity community!

Ben Stewart
Director of Spiritual Formation
I joined Trinity’s staff 20 years ago as the Youth Director, a job I loved, but after 14 years of running around the church, my joints couldn’t take it anymore. I was delighted to make the move to Director of Spiritual Formation. I work with the Christian Education Ministry and the Fellowship Ministry to help connect and educate Trinity members. If you can’t find me at Trinity, I’m probably watching rugby or I’m at home with my wife and two boys.

Marcos Vargas
Facilities Manager
I am excited to be part of Trinity Staff as Facilities Manager since December 2023. I have been a local resident of the Northern Virginia area since 1989. I am a business management graduate from Strayer University. In my spare time, I consider myself a soccer and jiu-jitsu enthusiast. I look forward to working with the entire Trinity community!

Nene Pisigan
Childcare coordinator
Nene Pisigan (Ms. Nene) has been at Trinity for over 4 years and has two children. Nene has attended numerous Godly Play training and has introduced the program to Trinity. Her enthusiasm and dedication to the children of Trinity are obvious in her clever ideas, such as cooking with the preschoolers after their Godly Play time. She has introduced toddlers to the Godly Play concept as well. Nene is in charge of the rest of the childcare staff: Luisa, Padma, Vijaya, and Pramila. She is also an assistant teacher at Chesterboork Montessori and is originally from the Philippines.
