Clergy
The Reverend Jon Baugh
Jon graduated from UNF in 1995 and has had a career in computer programming for 27 years. Jon was an active member of St. Andrews in Arlington from 2001 until 2009 and received his diaconate (became a deacon) there in 2011. Reverend Jon went to seminary at Sewanee and was ordained to the priesthood in 2012. Since then, he has served as an associate priest in Charlotte NC and at St. John’s Cathedral in downtown Jacksonville and at St. Paul’s by-the-Sea.
Rev. Jon is very excited to partner with us and God here at St. George. He looks forward to a vigorous program of renewal for our beloved parish; so we can continue to share the Good News of our Savior in this sacred space!
We at St. George are blessed. We firmly acknowledge that this decision to call Reverend Jonathan Baugh to St. George Church as Rector is one led by our Lord.

Irene also serves as a “Daughter of the King and At-Large Advisor” to the President for the Episcopal Church Women.
