The congregation of St. Timothy’s is excited to announce that the Reverend Marvin Foltz has accepted the call to be the Rector (Pastor) of the parish located at 808 N. Mason Rd., Creve Coeur. The Rev. Foltz will officiate at services on Saturday, August 3 at 5 p.m. and Sunday August 4 at 8 and 10:30 a.m. We invite everyone to join us in taking this joyous new step in our journey.
Marvin Lee Foltz, originally from Kansas City, MO, served 15 years as Rector of Good Shepherd Episcopal, Wailuku on the island of Maui, Hawaii. He graduated from Southwest Baptist College in Bolivar, MO, in 1975 and earned a Master of Divinity, summa cum laude, from Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Kansas City. He attended Seabury Western Seminary in Evanston, IL, and in the Episcopal Church served as rector of the Church of the Nativity in Maysville, KY for five years until called to Good Shepherd in 1998. In his years as pastor Marvin has been a volunteer involved with various groups, including the Maui Food Bank, the Maui Chapter of the American Cancer Society, the Ka 'Ohana Kitchen, a Sunday meal program that has provided food for those in need, and has also heavily supported the creation of the Queen Emma Athletic Club, which provides teens with Olympic-style weightlifting training taught by five-time national champion Brian Okada and assistant coach Lawrence Kauhaahaa.
Foltz's wife, Cindy, who has been a registered nurse for about 30 years and originally is from Chicago, remembered the move to Maui being a "culture shock," but enjoyed raising a family on the island. She will continue her work in healthcare after settling into their home in Creve Coeur. Cindy and Marvin’s adult son Carl will also move to Creve Coeur with them. We look forward to having the Foltz family join the St. Timothy’s family.
