St. Mark's United Methodist Church

Hello from Meridith
Meridith Grandy
Associate Pastor

I was born just outside of Boston, Massachusetts and lived there until my family moved to Connecticut. Just before my sophomore year of high school, we moved to Scottsdale, AZ.

After graduating high school, I returned to Massachusetts to attend Boston University, where I majored in Rehabilitation and Human Services with a professional focus in education. Upon completion of my undergraduate degree, I moved to North Carolina to begin seminary at Duke University Divinity School. Following graduation in 2010, I participated in a year-long Clinical Pastoral Education Residency at the University of North Carolina Hospitals, serving as the primary chaplain for the Trauma/Surgery services.

I have two younger sisters; one is a senior at ASU and one is entering her sophomore year at NAU. I have a dog named Lucy, and it has been fun to see her explore and try to figure out the desert environment. I am excited to be back in Arizona, closer to my family, and thrilled to be serving at St. Mark’s!
