Our Pastor

The Rev. Canon M. Filmore Strunk, Jr.

Father-Filmore

Filmore grew up as the son of a Southern Baptist pastor and wife in Mississippi and Tennessee. He attended Carson-Newman College for two years and finished at the University of Tennessee Knoxville with a degree in Art Education. Before he was ordained he used his design ability and love of plants to become an interiorscaper, installing and maintaining interior plants in hotels, atriums, and businesses in East Tennessee.

Filmore fell away from God in the 1970s and rediscovered the Lord in the Episcopal Church, grateful to be once again under God’s amazing grace. In 1985 he entered Virginia Theological Seminary, graduated in 1988, and became pastor of a small church in Dayton Tennessee the same year. In 1994 he was called to be Rector of Saint Margaret’s Episcopal Church and in 2007 he became the founding Rector of All Saints Anglican Church. He is delighted to be a part of a church that is faithful to God’s Word and is passionate about making disciples. 

Filmore has been married to  Sandy for 39 years, has two grown children, and two (highly adorable) twin granddaughters. He loves music (singing, playing various instruments, and listening to his large vinyl record collection), gardening, cooking, reading, telling corny jokes, and fly fishing.

Our Associate Pastor

The Rev. Dr. Duncan J. Bell

Bell Family 2

Duncan joined the staff at All Saints at the start of 2023, moving from green and pleasant England to add a Brit to the team.

He’s married to Rebecca who was born here in Charlotte, and they have four young children. Duncan grew up in a Christian home and can’t remember a time when he wasn’t following Jesus.

Whilst completing a PhD at the University of Sheffield on improving the matching of fingerprints taken from crime scenes, he started exploring a call to ordination. That saw he and Rebecca move to London for three years for seminary, before being ordained in Sheffield and working at churches in Sheffield and in Lancashire before ‘crossing the pond’ to come Stateside.

Duncan loves telling people about Jesus, going hiking in the countryside with his family, and occasionally brewing his own beer.

Our Staff

Meg Schriffen

Director of Children and Family Ministry

Meg has been attending All Saints with her family since December of 2018. She and her
husband Mike have been educators for over 20 years. They have two children, Anna (9) who loves all things dogs and Jack (8) the Star Wars fanatic. When Meg is not working she enjoys yoga, boat rides at her beloved family lake house, and spending time with her family and golden retriever Tucker.

Growing up in Ashland, Ohio, Meg belonged to St. Matthew’s Episcopal Church. During her college years her family moved back to her parents’ hometown of Sumter, SC, where she was a member of Church of the Holy Comforter. She attended Winthrop University and earned her BA in dance education and later earned her MFA in performance and choreography from Florida State University.

Meg has had an active career in dance, but has recently felt called to use her gifts of teaching, directing, and administrating in a more fulfilling way within God’s church. She has always had a passion for children and family and is happiest when she can serve both in her day to day life. She looks forward to serving All Saints in this new role as Director of Children and Family Ministries.

Fr. Wesley Kennedy

Youth Ministry Director

Wesley grew up in a small town in Oregon. His father was a pastor and he counts it a privilege to have grown up knowing Jesus.

He moved to Tennessee in 2008 to attend Lee University, where he majored in History Education and Music. He met Sara in Intro to Music History and they married in 2013. He later completed an M.A. in Biblical Studies from Lee University and an M.A. in German from the University of Tennessee.

Wesley spent over a decade as an educator prior to coming to All Saints. Two of those years were spent on the mission field in Germany, but for most of that time he worked as a high school German teacher. He eventually felt called to transition into pastoral work and started at All Saints in 2024.  In October of 2024, he was ordained at All Saints.

Wesley and Sara have two wonderful children. He enjoys traveling, playing card games, and reading about history and theology. His passion is to help people ground their lives in the good news about Jesus and the call to follow Him.

Karen Kearney

Choirmaster

Karen has worked in the church as a church musician since she was 13 years old. Her position of Choirmaster at All Saints has given her the opportunity to bone up on her piano fingers and continue to pursue training a choir, her first love.  However, that is not all of life. Life at the Kearney house in Rock Hill also includes renovating an apartment to use for AirBnB, working in the yard, and delighting in our toddler grandson, Cy. Life is full of good things and she is grateful for every one of them.

Ashley Scholl

Band Director

Ashley grew up in Charlotte, in a Christian family of 9. She was 8 years old when she sang her first trio in church and has been singing in choirs and worship teams ever since. She has led worship overseas and loves connecting with people from all different types of backgrounds and cultures. She desires that the whole congregation, young and old, would enter the throne room of God and that all ages would memorize scripture through something she likes to call “Psalm Jingles”. She received a Master’s Certificate in Ethnomusicology where she learned to contextualize worship music for a specific region and people group.

Ashley is married to Brian and they have two young daughters (plus a new baby on the way!). Their family loves going on neighborhood walks and building community through hospitality.

Judy Rowe

Parish Administrator

Judy has worked with Father Filmore for 15 years. She feels truly blessed to be serving at All Saints as Parish Administrator. She looks at her job as a ministry to serve others. Judy enjoys spending time with her family, being outside, and spending time with her horse. She sees every day as a blessing from God.

Kerry Williamson

Communications Director

Kerry and her family have been a part of All Saints Anglican since its founding. She and her husband, Erik, have four children – and their niece and nephew who are permanent part of their family.  They have homeschooled their 4 oldest for the past 20 years.

Kerry’s career has spanned a wide variety of roles and responsibilities.  From the creation of presentation materials for US Senate briefings to teaching Literature and Public Speaking to running a small business – with lots of stops along the way!  She is excited to serve her church family as Communications Director!
