The Board

The Rev. Toni Belhu
​
Cheryl A. (Toni) Belhu received her M.Div. with a concentration in Latinx Ministry from the Seminary of the Southwest (SSW) in Austin, Texas. She is the Rector of St. Francis and St. Gabriel's Episcopal Churches.
​
Before attending seminary, Toni retired from Bridgestone Americas, Inc. after her 22-year career working primarily in human resources and talent development. Toni is a veteran of the U.S. Army and served ten years as both an enlisted soldier and military officer. She is a widow and has three adult sons who live in Washington and Tennessee.
The Rev. J. Clarkson
​
The Rev. J. Clarkson has not always been a priest. He's also been a teacher, non-profit administrator, and advocate for youth, education, and sustainable food culture. He grew up near Nashville, attended seminary in Austin, and lives near Asheville, so yes, he does know every word to "Wagon Wheel" by Old Crow Medicine Show. J. serves as Rector of Calvary Church in Fletcher, NC. The church forests of Ethiopia fascinate him.
The Rev. John Roberts
​
The Rev. John Roberts has worked in all different roles within the Episcopal Church since his college, with the congregational-saving exception of singing in the choir. Currently, Fr. John serves as the Chaplain of Christ School in the south Asheville area, and finds great joy in building connections with the students and faculty of the Christ School community. John particularly enjoys woodworking (over exercise any day!) as a way to unwind.
Jada Bryson
Jada Bryson is a member of All Saints in Franklin NC. She is a graduate of the Haden Institute and is a practicing Spiritual Director with a focus on creative, contemplative, and embodiment practices. She is the co-founder of the Dance Arts Co-Op, a non-profit dance school. She also works as seamstress and long-arm quilter.
The Rev. Tim Ervolina
​​
The Rev. Tim Ervolina is an Episcopal deacon, which is sort of like being a priest, only without the whole turning ordinary bread and wine into the mystical body of Christ part. As a deacon, he takes a nearly fiendish delight in finding obscure Bible passages forbidding the wearing of cotton/poly blends, eating shrimp and getting tattoos of Bible passages that forbid tattooing, while insisting that the whole point of Christianity is to love everyone, everywhere, unconditionally, all the time. Period. He and his spouse Kendra, live in Asheville. They use their regular falls while hiking muddy trails as an excuse to drink beer.
