Who We Are
 
The Staff of Christ Ascension    
The Rev. David Keill has spent most of his career helping struggling churches rebuild.  Originally from New Providence, New Jersey, he attended Oberlin College.  He received his M. Div from Yale Divinity School.  He served as an Assistant briefly at St. Barnabas Church in Wilmington, Delaware, and was most recently Rector of St. George's Church in Pennsville, NJ.  He has been at Christ Ascension since 1999.  He also currently serves as Dean of Region 11 in the diocese.  
Mr. Ed Schutt, our Director of Music, comes by his great love and calling for church music quite naturally, since his father, William H. Schutt, was the Minister of Music at Richmond's Grace Covenant Presbyterian Church for some 35 years. He   retired at the end of 2003 after 30 years as Organist-Choirmaster at Westminster Presbyterian Church. Besides invaluable study and training under his father, he studied music at St.  Andrew's Presbyterian College and graduated from Lenoir-Rhyne College. He has also worked for 32 years at the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond in benefits administration, and has a wife (Sue), two grown sons (Chris and Marshall), two grandsons (Ned and Charlie), and a beloved golden retriever (Murray).
