The Rev. David Trautman

Rector

David started as the new rector (senior pastor) of Trinity in November 2016. He and his wife, Megan, previously served a congregation in Pittsburgh, PA. They are both Florida natives from the Tampa Bay area. While attending Florida State University, they were actively involved in planting an InterVarsity Chapter at FSU, which grew into one of the largest and most diverse chapters in Florida. David graduated from FSU with a double Major in Philosophy & Religious Studies. He then earned a Master’s degree in Religions of Western Antiquity with a focus on New Testament studies. He completed his seminary training with his wife at Trinity School for Ministry in Ambridge, PA, receiving his Masters in Sacred Theology in May of 2012. Megan graduated with her Masters in Divinity in May of 2013. While in seminary, David worked as the Director of Communications for the Anglican Diocese of Pittsburgh and Press Officer for Archbishop Robert Duncan.

David and Megan have a passion for building authentic Christian community that reaches out in love for their neighbors (Acts 2:42–47). They have a particular heart for reaching the city of Thomasville with the transforming love of Jesus Christ.

They have three children, ages 5 and under. David considers himself a true southerner, and thinks the perfect day is one spent in the sun and the water, with a good book and good company. He also enjoys hiking, camping, and other outdoor pursuits. David and Megan love to travel and explore. David has been on several mission trips including, traveling to the Dominican Republic, Mexico, Uganda, and most recently, leading a mission team to Ethiopia.
