The Reverend Terry Lucarelli

Terry joined LPC in April 2004 as Senior Pastor and Head of Staff. He held pastorates in Colorado and Oklahoma before returning to his native Ohio. He served as Senior Pastor and Head of Staff for Goodyear Heights Presbyterian Church in Akron, Ohio, for 13 years before coming to Lakewood.

A native of St. Clairsville, Ohio, Terry graduated from Fuller Theological Seminary and was ordained in 1982. He enjoys sports, particularly racquetball and golf. He played football at Wittenberg University before a knee injury sidelined him.

Terry and wife Karen have two children, daughter Kerry and son Jeremy. Jeremy resides in Jacksonville. Their daughter, son-in-law Shawn and two granddaughters, Emily and Audrey, live in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Terry’s scriptural motto from Galatians 5:6b is: “The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.”

 

The Reverend Katie Robb

Katie came to LPC in 2008 to bring renewed energy and strength to LPC’s youth program.

A native of Denver, Colo., Katie was active in her home church, Montview Boulevard Presbyterian Church, where she served as an elder, a member of the Communications Committee and was a Youth Program Advisor for five years.

Prior to joining LPC, she served as an interim youth director for a church in Evergreen, Colo., led many mission trips and was a member of the Hispanic Advisory Committee for the Presbytery of Denver. She is bi-lingual, with Spanish as a second language.

Katie earned her bachelor of arts degree from Dartmouth College in 1999. After working several years in corporate real estate in Chicago, she felt a strong call to ministry. She received her masters of divinity with honors from Iliff School of Theology in Denver in 2006. She was ordained in the spring of 2008.

Katie is an accomplished skier and has run multiple half-marathons. Her canine companion, Ina, an Australian Shepherd mix, is a close match for her energy level.

 

Minister of Music Rodney Cleveland

Rodney Cleveland became LPC’s organist and music director in 2000. In May 2006, the LPC leadership named him Minister of Music in recognition of his extraordinary ability to inspire the congregation and enrich their worship experience through music.

Prior to coming to LPC, Rodney served other churches in Florida, as well as in Georgia and South Carolina.

A native of Hartwell, Ga., Rodney earned his bachelor’s degree from Anderson College in Anderson, S.C., and his master of sacred music degree from Emory University in Atlanta.

Rodney currently is dean of the Jacksonville Chapter of the American Guild of Organists and is active in the Florida Federation of Music Clubs. He also is active as a recitalist and accompanist.

Under Rodney’s tutelage, the LPC choir has reached new heights of musical achievement. He has led the adult choir on several tours of Europe in recent years, performing at St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome and Notre Dame in Paris.
