Rev. Alicia Wood

Rev. Alicia Wood

Senior Pastor

Alicia Wood is a pastor with a big smile and an even bigger exuberance to share
God’s love with people on their journey of faith whether they aren’t sure what they
believe yet or are living as a disciple.  A graduate of SUNY Oswego and Boston
University School of Theology, Pastor Alicia brings 11 years of experience serving in
the city of Syracuse and Ithaca.  Her primary gifts are identifying leaders, equipping
leaders, and building teams to grow the ministries of the congregation.  She strives
to be a part of the community in which she is in ministry so that she has the lived
experience of the community. She looks for the gaps in ministry with the poor to
speak out for justice for all people.  She prays with her church that is looking
toward future ministries and seeking justice.  Pastor Alicia is married to Pastor Jack
Keating, has one adult daughter, a cat, and a dog.
