Clergy, Staff, and Vestry
St. Paul's Clergy & Staff
Like every Episcopal Church, St. Paul's is guided by the pastoral direction and leadership of a Diocesan Bishop.
We are a part of the Episcopal Diocese of Spokane, and our Bishop is The Rt. Rev'd Gretchen Rehberg.
You can learn more about the Diocese of Spokane and about our Bishop at the Diocesan webpage.
The Rev. David Sibley
Rector
As Rector, David's focus is on the work of discipleship and spiritual growth at Saint Paul's – and supporting the call of every member of Saint Paul's to be a disciple of Jesus not only in the church, but in every aspect of their daily lives.
A native of South Carolina, David holds a B.S. and M.S. in Chemistry from Furman University in Greenville, South Carolina, and an M.Div. from The General Theological Seminary of the Episcopal Church in New York City. He is married to Emily, a native of Western Washington, and they have a young daughter.
In their free time, David and his family enjoy travel, hiking, skiing, cooking, and home improvement projects. While Siena, their Lakeland Terrier, lives in their house, they are not foolish enough to proclaim themselves her “owners.” David is a sports fanatic – a rabid fan of the Chicago Cubs, Liverpool Football Club, South Carolina Gamecocks, and Seattle Seahawks.

The Rev. Ann Howard
Deacon
As Deacon, Ann is focused on pastoral care within the congregation, spiritual formation, and the training of our Eucharistic ministers and Eucharistic visitors. After having lived across the world from the state of Georgia to the nation of Japan, she settled here in the northwest and has served with us as a Deacon since 1987. Formerly a hospice chaplain, Ann focuses on pastoral care and visitations and assisting with worship. A voracious knitter, Ann is also deeply involved with reading and writing poetry.
Tanya Hunker
Parish Administrator
Tanya manages the church office, is the central contact for outside groups that use Saint Paul's campus, coordinates and constructs our publications, and undertakes myriad other tasks that keep St. Paul's running. A native of California, Tanya moved to Walla Walla in 2005. When she is not raising her adorable children, she is an avid reader of novels and literature.

St. Paul's Vestry
The vestry is the legal representative of the parish with regard to all matters pertaining to its corporate property. Three Vestry members are elected at each annual parish meeting to serve a three year term, for a total of twelve members. The presiding officer of the vestry is the Rector. The Rector appoints the Senior Warden, and the Vestry elects the Junior Warden.
