CCA Clergy
Senior Priest and Rector
Rev. Henry Pendergrass
Fr. Henry was born and raised in Pittsburg, Tx, where he learned to work on his family’s ranch. He is not ashamed to claim he is a Kangaroo, having attended Austin College in Sherman, TX. He received his Master of Divinity from Virginia Theological Seminary, in Alexandria, VA. Henry was ordained to the priesthood in 1990. In addition to the various churches where he has served, Henry planted two churches in the North Texas area. It is his joy to oversee and direct the spiritual life and ministry of this warm and loving, kingdom-minded church family. Henry is married to the lovely Colleen and they have two daughters, Abby and Annie, who do their best to raise their dad.
Priest Associate
Rev. Matt Traylor
Fr. Matt grew up near Tampa, FL and studied Bible-Theology and Philosophy at Wheaton College, where he met his wife, Kati, the saint in the relationship. He served in Istanbul, Turkey for two years and then received an M.Div. from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. As a deacon, he helped plant a church in Buffalo, NY, and after being ordained a priest in 2021, he led the family ministry at a parish in Colorado Springs. It's his duty and joy to assist in leading the parish, especially in Spiritual formation and pastoral care. Matt loves to get coffee or lunch to hear what God is doing in your life (or chat about what you're reading), so please reach out anytime! Matt and Kati have three amazing kids and a scaredy-dog, and he will gladly accept your offer to take him hunting or get the family outdoors.
