John Milholland

We are excited to have Interim Pastor John Milholland with us at Trinity! John served for 25 years as pastor for Fifth Creek Presbyterian Church and Old Providence Presbyterian Church near Statesville, N.C. He was also an adjunct professor at Mitchell Community College, teaching courses on the Old and New Testaments, Ethics, and World Religions. John and his wife, Sandra, retired and moved to Raleigh four years ago to spend more time with their grandchildren. We are thrilled to have them with us, and we look forward to seeing how Trinity can move forward and grow with John’s leadership during this time of transition!

Virginia Raby
Office Manager
Virginia enjoys using a variety of skills at Trinity. She began at the church in the summer of 2013 while working at Saint Andrews Presbyterian Church, with the goal of helping Trinity short-term as they looked to hire. In a plot twist, she's still here! Virginia notes, "There's a good bit of joy to be found working in a small church, especially supporting and partnering with members and staff to help bring their goals to fruition." In her spare time, Virginia loves to walk, visit gardens, travel with her husband, Andy, and avidly cheer on the Tar Heels.
John Montague
Business Administrator
John began working at Trinity in 2014 as part-time accountant. After 15 years of public accounting experience and seven years of working in private industry, John became Business Administrator at Saint Andrews Presbyterian Church in 2006. He brings those years of experience to work with the team at Trinity, especially assisting Virginia Raby, the Office Manager. "I love working with the Stewardship Team. They bring so much expertise and passion to each meeting. I've known Virginia for 17 years and have always enjoyed working with her and valued her insight." John is a member at Tabernacle Baptist Church and has always found it fulfilling to serve God in the life of several churches.
