Chris Meckley

On Sunday, May 31, 2026, we honored and celebrated the Meckley family who will be relocating to North Carolina this summer. Chris will begin serving as Associate Rector at Church of the Good Shepherd in Bermuda Run, North Carolina, in August. While Chris is no longer on staff, the Meckley family will always be part of The River family.

Chris and Stephanie moved from the Pittsburgh area to the NRV in Summer 2014 so that Chris could work with youth at The River. Chris attended Grove City College and Trinity School for Ministry.

He was ordained as a deacon in 2018, and as a priest in May 2021. Stephanie is an RN in the area, and they have three sons, a daughter, a golden retriever, five ducks, and a bearded dragon.
