Meet Travis Helms

Published by St. John's on

Joining us for worship this Sunday, July 12 is the Rev. Travis Helms. Travis is Campus Missioner to the University of Texas at Austin, and is Founder + Curator of LOGOS Poetry Collective, a liturgically-inflected reading series “poetry church” community that congregates in an East Austin brewery.

He received a PhD in Divinity; and his dissertation, which explores theological elements in the work of four American poets, is forthcoming as a book from Pickwick / Wipf and Stock Publishers. He loves fishing, skiing, live music, and long hikes with his wonderful wife Gracie, an MBA who works for an Ed-Tech company based in Austin, and their dog, Roo. You can find Travis‘ poems and essays online; and he is elated to be spending this month in this Valley he calls sacred.
