Anne Reid, Vestry Member

Anne Reid brings artistic vision and servant leadership to the Saint James vestry. This talented arts photographer from Mt. Pleasant discovered Saint James when she moved to James Island, initially drawn by the church's beautiful grounds. Anne joined the leadership team after just seven months as a member, encouraged by staff who recognized her heart for service.

What Anne loves most about Saint James is that it's "a safe community for all" where everyone is warm and welcoming. She's passionate about the church's commitment to respecting different voices and viewpoints. Anne helps coordinate wedding inquiries, drawing on her background in both arts photography and the bridal industry.

Beyond her church leadership, Anne has an interesting connection to the local film industry - she's worked as an extra in productions throughout South Carolina. When not behind the camera or serving the church, Anne enjoys walking, cooking, and supporting James Island Outreach through food donations.

Her favorite Bible verse, Hebrews 13:14, reflects her forward-looking faith: "For this world is not our permanent home; we are looking forward to a home yet to come."
