About the Rev. Angela Cortiñas
The Rev. Angela Cortiñas has served as rector at St. Thomas Episcopal Church in College Station since summer 2017. Prior to St. Thomas, she was associate rector for five years at St. Gregory's (a large program-sized church in downtown Boca Raton, Florida), and assistant priest for two years at All Saints Episcopal Church in Fort Lauderdale.
Along with her priestly duties, Pastor Angela, as she likes to be called, serves on the Diocesan Executive Board and on the Episcopal Foundation of Texas. She has also helped facilitate the Beginning Well program for the Diocese which helps transition new clergy into their new calls.
Angela received her bachelor’s degree in environmental studies from Florida International University and received a master’s degree in city and regional planning from the University of Memphis. She attended the Episcopal Seminary of the Southwest in Austin, where she received her Master in Divinity in 2010. She is currently working on her doctoral degree in ministry at Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary with the goal of completion sometime in 2023.
Prior to seminary she worked for more than a decade as a computer consultant and later a senior manager in information systems for the Johnson & Johnson family of companies. While there she managed and worked in many different management roles.
Born to Cuban immigrants, Pastor Angela is a native Floridian who grew up in Miami with a large family of eight children. She is a proud mom to Victoria Fletcher who is attending the University of California in Davis.
When not working Pastor Angela enjoys quality time with her daughter and her pups – especially outdoors while hiking, paddle boarding, or cycling. Angela looks forward to beginning her ministry and serving the people at St. David’s. Please keep Angela and her daughter in your prayers as she ends her pastorate at St. Thomas.
