Leeds Church

In the history of Leeds, many Rectors have served long and dedicated careers. In the last 100 years alone, three rectors have served for a combined 75 years: The Reverend Fremont Newton Hinkel (1922-1956), 34 years The Reverend Howard Llewellyn Fairchild (1967-1991), 24 years The Reverend Linnea Summers Turner (1993-2010), 17 years These long tenures reflect their synergy with the people of Leeds Parish and our desire is to always seek a balance between the leadership and common goals. This spirit has brought the people of Leeds continuing success in their mission to serve our Lord and the needs of others. Today, Leeds Episcopal Church is an active and vibrant parish that cherishes its history of faith and community, while looking forward to the future in its fourth century of existence.
