Rector:
The Rev. Desmond Goonesekera

I was born in Bossier City, Louisiana and have moved around a bit as a child and adult. Places I have lived include: Bossier City, LA; Houston, TX; Tulsa, OK; Norman, OK; Helsinki, Finland; Akron, OH; Cleveland, OH; and Oklahoma City, OK, and back again in Houston! Each place I lived, I joined a new church and encountered some sort of new facet of faith.

I received my Bachelor’s in Psychology at The University of Oklahoma and my masters in Marriage and Family Counseling at The University of Akron. I also studied Christian Theology abroad at The University of Helsinki.I am married to George Shirk and we have a dog named Boomer. George works for Enterprise Products and Boomer is a trained therapy dog. I am also an aspiring artist so commission me to create something for you! I love to meet new friends, travel, learn and hope to never take myself too seriously! I have met so many personal mentors and spiritual guides and feel eternally grateful for those who have blessed me with their wisdom. If we all could look to each other as an opportunity to love and be loved the world would be a much better place. Thus, I hope to continue deepening my own spiritual walk as well as foster others’ journeys.
