Help Fill the Free Little Pantries!

Our three Free Little Pantries are running low! Let’s share the hope of the Resurrection by helping our neighbors facing food insecurity. Please bring non-perishable food, canned goods, or hygiene items to worship—collection baskets are in the East Wing. You can also give financially by marking your gift “pantries.” Let’s share Christ’s love in a tangible way!

Meet Rev. Tracie Ashley, Co-Pastor of the South Pinellas Connection

Rev. Tracie Ashley is a United Methodist pastor whose ministry is shaped by a deep commitment to preaching, pastoral care, justice, and inclusion. With a heart for communities rooted in grace, she brings creativity and a collaborative spirit to her work.

 

Over the years, Pastor Tracie has faithfully served congregations with compassion and vision, helping people live out their faith in meaningful ways. She is passionate about creating welcoming spaces where individuals of all backgrounds and identities can encounter Christ’s love and grow as disciples.

 

Her ministry reflects a strong call to justice and equity, grounded in the belief that the church should embody God’s radical grace. Whether preaching, teaching, or offering care, Pastor Tracie leads with authenticity and hope.

 

Pastor Tracie is married to Rev. Erick Ashley. Together, they form a dynamic team in ministry and life. They are the proud parents of four adult children, all of whom live in Tallahassee, Florida. This summer, they are joyfully preparing to step into a new and exciting chapter: grandparenthood—a role they are absolutely thrilled to embrace.

Pastor Tracie is grateful for the opportunity to continue walking alongside God’s people in love and faith.
