Leadership
Fr. Terry Miller
Priest
As a priest, Fr. Terry seeks to help others to know and love the God revealed in Jesus Christ, bringing to bear on today’s questions and hopes the riches of Christian teaching and tradition, so that those he serves may be transformed into His likeness by the Holy Spirit, be equipped to do ministry, and share in the Church’s witness to God’s Kingdom.
​
Before coming to Good Shepherd, Fr. Terry served at St. Matthew’s, Richmond, as Assistant Priest, as a ‘country parson’ at a parish outside of Charlottesville, as the Interim Pastor at a Lutheran congregation, and as the Assistant Priest for Adult Education at a large suburban congregation outside of Detroit. He is originally from Florida and is a graduate of the University of the South (Sewanee). He received his Master of Divinity at Virginia Theological Seminary in Alexandria and a Master of Sacred Theology at the Lutheran Theological Seminary at Gettysburg, where he studied Christian ethics and Christian formation.
​
When not engaged in parish ministry, he enjoys spending time with his wife and their four school-age children; reading books on theology, history, politics, art and culture; watching films and working in the garden; doing home improvement projects; and tending his other “flock” of chickens and ducks at his home.
John H. Vreeland
Music Director
John holds a degree in Music Education from Nazareth College of Rochester, NY, a Master’s in Pipe Organ Performance from the University of Buffalo, NY and is currently Adjunct Professor of Organ at the University of Mary Washington in Fredericksburg, VA. He retired recently from St. George’s Episcopal Church in Fredericksburg, where he served for the past 20 years as their Director of Music Ministries and Artistic Director of the Chamber Music Series. An active jazz pianist, composer and arranger, his original jazz choral anthems, arrangements, and service music have been regular features of St. George's weekly jazz Eucharist. John lives in Fredericksburg with his wife Mary.
Randy Allen

As our Sexton, Randy employs his gifts in maintaining, repairing and enhancing the physical grounds of our church.
Anna Swynford
Director of Communications and
Administration
Since growing up in Seattle, Washington, Anna has acquired extensive church administrative and worship experience from her time on staff at two Anglican churches in Virginia, one of which she helped start with her husband, James, who is an Anglican pastor. After living in Philadelphia for four years she and her husband and four children (ages 4-11), are excited to be living in Richmond. In her free time, she enjoys knitting and hiking with her family. She also has a deep interest in exploring the intersection of Christian theology and music. She studied trombone performance at Wheaton College and Manhattan School of Music before obtaining degrees in theology from Trinity School for Ministry and Duke Divinity School.
