The Very Rev. Dale Custer,

Priest

I begin each day with a moment of gratitude for the day that is to come, asking for an awareness of God’s presence, and for the grace to be a vessel of Christ’s love and care for those I meet. I hope to assist others in experiencing their identity as children, in and through Jesus Christ, of an incredible God. 

I feel God has called me to one-on-one and one-on-small group ministries, especially around spiritual formation.  Areas of interest include Celtic Christianity, the Contemplative Life, the Lives of the Church Mothers and Fathers, and the Mystics.  I enjoy teaching on, leading, and participating in pilgrimages. 

As an outdoor enthusiast, hiking, biking, camping and gardening are sources of relaxation and bring me much delight.  If the weather does not encourage being outside, I can be found reading a book with a cat at my side.

Married to Doris for 16 years, we have two grown children and one grandchild and share a home with two cats. We enjoy travel, farmers’ markets, and listening to live local music.
