Staff and Leadership
The Rev. Christopher Adams, Rector
Born in Texas, I moved to Eastern North Carolina at 12 and have considered it my home ever since. An ECU graduate, I went to seminary at Duke Divinity School and have continued to study theology and philosophy as time allows. Speaking of time, I spend as much time as I can with my wife, son, two dogs and six cats. Very few things make me as happy as laughing with my family; however, coffee, comic books, and professional wrestling come pretty close. I love being a parish priest and trying to offer as much of the hope and love of Jesus Christ as I can.

Jennifer Spivey, Parish Administrator
I have been blessed to serve as the Parish Administrator at St. Peter’s for over 20 years. If you need help connecting with someone or a ministry, transferring your membership, giving a monetary gift, sharing information with the congregation or just have general questions, contact me at the church office.
Originally from Edenton, North Carolina, I attended Lawrence Academy and continued my education at Elon College. After graduating from college, I worked with two CPA firms, an industrial and commercial contractor and a real estate developer before landing at St. Peter’s.
Spending time with my husband and kids is my greatest joy whether it’s at home around the dinner table, cheering on the sidelines of the soccer or baseball fields, playing pickle ball, snow skiing, or enjoying the Pamlico River on our boat.
Catherine Partrick, Parish Secretary
I'm originally a farm girl from the hills of southwestern Virginia, happily transplanted here on the Pamlico 38 years ago upon marrying Neal. I've had an array of jobs, career moves and hobbies over the years. I'm energetic and I enjoy being involved in interesting and entertaining "pursuits." I deeply value honesty and sincerity. Above all else, I treasure my wonderful family and a multitude of good people in the world. I strive to maintain an accepting and open heart.
