Our Staff
Jim is Founding and Senior Minister at St. Patrick. He and his wife Teri and five children moved to Collierville in 1997 to plant what would become St. Patrick Presbyterian Church. Along the way they rounded out their family with two more children, a host of sons and daughters in law and seven grandchildren. The Holland Clan are most at home around a grill with family and friends eating the greatest food of their lives. Aside from ministry, Jim is often found in his garden, in the woods or chasing his children and grandchildren around. In his more contemplative moments he enjoyed reading books.
Joshua has been a pastor at St. Patrick since 2016, telling God's story and thriving within it. He loves it when the lights come on for people and they see themselves in the story, too, which is why he’s pursuing a doctorate in Faith and Culture from Houston Theological Seminary. He and his wife Allie have three children, Cecily, Eloise, and Donovan, whom they are attempting to classically educate. For Josh, Heaven feels local when he's discussing a great novel with passionate people over a meal he prepared just for them.
Will grew up just a bit west of the Collierville line, graduating from Houston High School. After studying English and leading worship for RUF at Samford University in Birmingham, he moved to Washington, DC, where he met his wife, Bekah, who is a nurse. They then went back to Birmingham to go to Beeson Divinity School, after which Will joined us here at St. Patrick. Will and Bekah have a 8-year-old son, Samuel, who loves books, raisins, and basketball. They also have a 5-year-old named Audrey, who loves to dance, sing, and help folks. Recently they also welcomed another daughter, Chloe Ruth.
Greg and his wife Heather come from South Jersey, but they have fallen in love with the Mid South where they have lived for the last seven years raising their two children, Truett and Fiona, and serving as the youth pastor at Advent Presbyterian Church. Greg's passion for coffee, soccer, disc golf, and chess is only surpassed by his passion for ministering to and with students and equipping others for the same, which he has done for the last twelve years. He enjoys every day discipleship just as much as a great retreat. He loves asking hard questions and studying the Bible in small groups.
Chris has 27 years of performance-driven, value-based leadership, focused on exalting Christ and advancing His Kingdom. Ultimately, he loves to help build organizations that do good. Advanced skills in: Founder transitions (5X), mission/vision alignment and macro operations.

After teaching in Collierville schools for three years, she joined the St. Patrick staff in August of 2000. Developing the family ministries at St. Patrick, as the church has evolved and grown, has been her delight. Amy its passionate to see our families disciple the next generation and for St. Patrick to be a place of hope and healing for those in our community.
