Welcome, Rachel Nyback
Meet Rachel, our August chaplain at The Chapel of the Transfiguration. The Rev. Dr. Rachel Anne Nyback has served at St. Cross Episcopal Church in Hermosa Beach, CA for twenty-two years, seventeen as rector. Rachel strives to help others live out their lives as a member of God’s beloved community, using prayer and scripture to grow and encourage each of us to share Jesus’ message of all-inclusive love.
She loves many areas of ministry, but especially enjoys working with youth, pilgrimage, raising up new clergy and stewardship/development. She endeavors to make St. Cross a place where all are welcome to believe, to serve, to belong. She was raised in Southern California, attended school in Massachusetts, California and Virginia, and has lived in both France and Kuwait. She enjoys spending her free time with her husband traveling, reading, hiking, camping, cooking new recipes, rooting for the Dodgers and supporting Smith College.
