We welcome Brad Wilson, who will serve St. Philip’s as a ministry intern in the discernment process for priesthood in the Episcopal Church. Brad’s first Sunday worshiping with us was March 9, 2025, and he will serve through mid May. Read more about Brad below.

I am a native of Western North Carolina, born and raised in Weaverville. I hold a bachelor’s degree in nursing from Western Carolina University and a master's degree in nursing from Clemson University. I will celebrate my 22^nd year as a Nurse Practitioner this May.  Currently, I work at Asheville Pulmonary and Critical Care Associates where I provide care to adults suffering from a variety of sleeping disorders. 

Outside of my professional life, I have been married for 12 years to my husband, Corey, who works as the Director of Music and Organist at Central United Methodist Church in downtown Asheville. We have one rambunctious chocolate labrador retriever, named Flossie Mae. 

I am an active member at Trinity Episcopal Church where I serve on the Altar Guild and have served on various committees including Trinity’s Vestry. I am also active at the Church of the Advocate. I became involved there in 2019 when I was asked to be the Vestry liaison on the church’s advisory board. In 2022, I assumed the role of the advisory board’s chair, a role that I continue to this day. 

In August, I plan to start seminary at General Theological Seminary in New York City, NY.
