Staff & Leadership
Interim Pastor / Interim Head of Staff, Rev. Kelly-Ann Rayle
Rev. Kelly-Ann Rayle received her Master of Divinity from Union Presbyterian Seminary in Richmond, Virginia, in 2015, and is an ordained pastor in the Presbyterian Church (USA). She brings to Three Chopt Presbyterian Church a rich background in transitional ministry, having served congregations in Virginia and Illinois with a focus on worship, congregational care, and leadership development. Her passion is helping communities of faith listen for God’s voice, deepen their relationships with one another, and faithfully discern their next steps.
Kelly-Ann will begin her ministry at Three Chopt Presbyterian Church in February 2026. She is grateful to be returning to Richmond and is eager to partner with the congregation in building a vibrant, hope-filled future rooted in Christ’s love.
Kelly-Ann and her husband, Steve, have two adult children, Alex and Emily. She enjoys good food, traveling, decorating, and, of course, gymnastics! Her life is shaped by a deep love for God’s Word, her family, and a joyful spirit that always leaves room for a cartwheel or two.
Music Director, Chelsea LaMonica
Professional choral director and life-long vocalist/pianist, Chelsea LaMonica has been making music in church since she was very young - whether singing solos or following her father around the pews during his own church choir rehearsals. It was as a member of the Rooke Chapel Choir at Bucknell University, however, that she first felt called to share music as a director. Following her graduation from Temple University with her Masters of Music in Choral Conducting in 2012, she accepted that calling and served as the Director of Music at Christ Church UCC in Elizabethtown, PA, leading the music ministry there from 2013-2015.
Since 2015, Chelsea has been the Middle and Upper School Chorus Teacher at Fredericksburg Academy in Fredericksburg, VA. Chelsea and her husband Steve both teach at the same school (Steve teaches History and Latin) and have lived in Virginia with their two wonderful dogs for seven years. In their free time, both Steve and Chelsea can be found playing board games, discussing all things nerdy, taking their dogs for daily “pack walks,” and reading. Chelsea could not be more excited to continue the music tradition at Three Chopt Presbyterian Church.

Deacon Ministry
The office of Deacon is a historic office of the Presbyterian Church. In the New Testament, Deacons were appointed to care for the distribution of food and other necessities to the poor and needy members of the church.
The Board of Deacons of TCPC is a body of believers called to ministry and servanthood by Jesus Christ. We are called by God and elected by members to serve under the authority of scripture and the Session of TCPC. We acknowledge that the Holy Spirit empowers us to this ministry of compassion, care, and communication throughout the congregation and our community.
This is done in a number of ways: communicating and praying for members of our church family and friends; staying connected and involved in the life of the church; knowing and recognizing when a special need exists in the congregation; welcoming and shepherding new members, prospective members and visitors; serving and supporting individuals and families in times of joy.
