The Rev’d Terry D. McGugan has been rector at St. Michael’s Church since 1997. He earned his M.Div. degree from The General Theological Seminary in New York, and B.A. from Emory University. Prior to coming to Racine, Father Terry served several parishes in the Diocese of Atlanta, in his native Georgia. During his tenure as rector, St. Michael’s has experienced significant growth in the areas of evangelism and the development of lay leadership. Terry is deeply committed to the Alpha program and has seen God use it to grow the size of the congregation under his care. When not writing sermons or prepping Alpha talks, Terry is doing all sorts of dad duties for his two children: throwing laundry into the dryer and taking forgotten lunches to school.  Whatever free time he has is consumed with his boat. Terry has a deep passion for sailing, which is convenient given that St. Michael’s hugs the coast of Lake Michigan. Church members are occasionally invited for rides, although we are still trying to work out what connection, if any, that has with sudden changes in patterns of stewardship.
