As a cradle Presbyterian and a “military brat”, Kate has known the Church in many forms. She began her church work while in college in Nashville, TN, and at Montreat Conference Center during the summers. As a young adult, she served as a mission worker in Miami, FL through the PC(USA) YAV program. After graduating from Columbia Theological Seminary, she continued her education with a chaplaincy residency in Charlotte. As an ordained Minister of Word and Sacrament in the PC(USA), Rev. Rascoe has served churches in NC, Texas and Virginia. In all of these ministry placements, Kate has sought to bear witness to the peace and healing of Christ, the love of God, and the calling of the Church. Kate’s husband Clayton is also a Presbyterian pastor. He has held positions in camps and conference centers. Together, they are parents to Ruth (10) and Carolina (almost 8). Two years ago, God called the Rascoe family to the Valley. Clayton now serves as Executive Director of Massanetta Springs Camp and Conference Center. Since moving to Harrisonburg, Kate has served the church by filling pulpits, serving as parish associate for visitation for the Trinity and Covenant Presbyterian Churches, and as a chaplain with Sentara Hospice. In her free time, Kate loves a good cup of coffee, chocolate, walks in the woods, exploring the world, music, TV dramas and reading.
