804-282-4645 | Email Becca

Describe your primary responsibilities at Third:

I manage all our communications initiatives and vehicles (website, mailings, promotions, special projects) and also help to make Third a great place to work and grow as a staff member!

What are your favorite books?

Wendell Berry’s Hannah Coulter and Jayber Crow; Flannery O’Connor’s A Good Man Is Hard To Find (And also anything by David Sedaris) 

What is your favorite thing about Richmond?

This is so hard for me to answer, but in summary I’d say I love our restaurants, my southside neighborhood, and the grit of this city – we’re definitely not lacking in character.

Tell us about your family: 

I am married to the creative and kind Chris Payne, and together we’re raising two wild kids, Nellie and Huey, and a very wild corgi named Wendell. Life is full and rich (emphasis on full).

Why are you excited to be a part of Third Church?

At Third, it seems that the community is always eager to see what the Lord will do next. People here are sensitive to the calling of the Holy Spirit, are excited about applying Scripture to their lives, and are resolute in bringing glimmers of His Kingdom here on Earth. It’s my daily salve to be a part of this church.
