Rev. George Tatro joined the JCPC family in February 2024. He is an engaging preacher, strategic leader, and community builder who works collaboratively with staff and lay leaders to faithfully seek answers to the two main questions he believes we all must ask on our journey of faith: 

Where is God calling us?

How are we going to get there?

George served Memorial Drive Presbyterian Church for 11 years through a season of discernment and transformation. His commitment to outreach, mission, and partnering with non-profits led to the formation of Memorial Drive Ministries and three new immigrant worshipping communities under the care of the New Church Development Commission of the Presbytery.

Following his time at MDPC, George served McDonough Presbyterian Church as Bridge Pastor and Head of Staff, providing stability and guidance after the unexpected departure of the Senior Pastor. For the past year he has been pastoring Kelley Presbyterian Church in rural Henry County. 

George serves the Presbytery of Greater Atlanta on the Pastor to Pastor team and on the New Church Development Commission. He previously served on the Committee for Representation and as the Presbytery’s point person for the Hunger Walk.

George was born at DeKalb General in Decatur and grew up in Miami, Fla. He attended Florida State University where he graduated Cum Laude from the School of Social Work in 1992. After college, he managed his family’s apartment complexes in Dekalb County until he felt called to ministry in 2004. He graduated from Columbia Theological Seminary in 2010 and began serving Memorial Drive Presbyterian Church soon after graduation.

George and his wife Carrie met at Atlanta Vintage Books where Carrie was the manager; they share a passion for rare and collectable books and ephemera. They have been married for 23 years and share their home with a Bishon Frise, a Pomeranian, a Poodle, and a Hound. George is a black belt in judo, played rugby for Florida State University and for High Country  Rugby in Atlanta, loves fishing, reading, painting, and hopes one day he will play the ukulele well.

Rev. Rachel Breyer Mulgrave joined the JCPC family in September 2024. She is an energetic and compassionate leader with a unique toolkit of gifts and skills that bridge traditional religious formation with organizational behavior and community needs.

Rachel was ordained as a chaplain at Emory University Hospital Midtown in December 2019 where she served as spiritual and emotional support for the NICU, Medical ICU, Ontology, and Sickle Cell Units. She then served as the Chaplain to both Philips Tower (Decatur, GA) and Calvin Court (Atlanta, GA), both of which are independent senior living facilities under Presbyterian Homes of Georgia. Rachel served a year long fellowship in Mission at Holy Cross Hospital (Trinity Health) in Silver Spring, Maryland before returning to Georgia to become the Director of Faith Formation and Discipleship at Johns Creek Presbyterian Church.

Rachel serves the Presbytery of Greater Atlanta on the Committee on Preparation for Ministry and was a Commissioner at the 225th General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.).

Rachel was born in California and grew up in Gilbert, Arizona. She earned a Bachelor of Arts in Theology from Azusa Pacific University in 2014. She attended Fuller Theological Seminary before transferring to Columbia Theological Seminary where she graduated in 2019 and was the recipient of the Paul T. Furmann Award in Church History. 

Rachel and her husband Christopher met at East Lake Golf Club where Rachel was working during seminary. They live in Decatur, GA with their two cats - Cooper & Elliot. Rachel is an avid fan of the Atlanta Hawks and Arizona Diamondbacks. Rachel loves baking, gardening, comedy, podcasts, and has a goal of visiting every Major League Baseball park in the MLB (she's halfway there!).
