The Rev. Connie Gordon was born and raised in Colorado Springs, Co.  She attended Westminster College in Salt Lake City where she earned her Bachelors of Science in 1987 and her M.Div. from the University of the South in Sewanee, TN in 2005.   She was ordained to the transitional deaconate on St. Barnabas’ Day 2005 at the Cathedral Church of St. Mark by the Rt. Rev. Carolyn Tanner Irish and to the Priesthood on April 19, 2006.  Mother Connie came to St. Barnabas Church in August of 2005 as a transitional deacon and Curate.  With the retirement of our Priest in Charge in February, she is now Priest in Charge at St. Barnabas. 

Connie has been married to James Gordon since 1987 and they have two daughters, Mariah and Rachael.  James is one of our J2A leaders, lector, and is on the Commission of Ministry for the Diocese of Utah.  Like all members of St. Barnabas, James can be found pitching in wherever there is a need.  Both Mariah and Rachael have quickly found their places at St. Barnabas, both participating in J2A, choir, altar guild, and diocesan youth events.

Outside of ministry and family responsibilities, Connie enjoys quilting, walking and playing with the dogs, reading with the cats, and tending to a planted and reef aquariums.  She enjoys cooking, home improvement, golf and Utah’s outdoor activities.
