Reid attended St. David’s for a portion of his childhood. He returned, after moving back to Radnor Township with his wife and four children, 25 years ago. Since then, St. David’s has been their church home. Reid has been involved in many church activities including the cofounding of the Men’s Bible study, leading the Men’s Fellowship and the Alpha Program, ushering, serving as a lay reader, and most recently, serving on the Parish Profile Committee. Reid has had a career working in commercial real estate. He feels this time of transition at St. David’s is an important time to serve the parish.

Her daughter, Currie, lives in San Francisco and her son, Andrew, his wife, Katie, and their 6-year-old daughter, Genevieve, live in Washington, D.C.

Andrew Kuhn

Andrew Kuhn has spent almost his entire adult life at St. David’s. Many of you have watched him grow up here: from the single, curly-haired youth minister to a now rapidly aging father of four. This church and community have been the one thing that stood the test of time and was a reliable lighthouse for Andrew, and his family, throughout the years. Love is the word that he uses to describe all the people that make up St. David’s. Andrew is an education consultant at Montgomery County Intermediate Unit and an affiliate professor at Eastern University. His specialties are learning and formation, systems and structures, and empowering others. In addition to previously working at St. David’s, Andrew worked for the Episcopal Diocese of Pennsylvania and traveled nationally and internationally on numerous mission trips. These combined experiences have provided Andrew with a unique perspective of the depth and breadth of St. David’s mission and purpose in the world.
