We Welcome The Rev. Keith Owen, who is a native Virginian whose 33 year ministry took him from Southeastern Virginia to Albany, New York, and finally to Cleveland, Ohio, where he currently resides. He retired from active parish ministry (St. Peter’s, Lakewood) in 2021, but remains engaged in interim ministry, supply work and diocesan affairs. He is a graduate of the University of Virginia (Political Science, 1982) and the General Theological Seminary (1988). He completed further studies at Princeton Theological Seminary (Certificate in Pastoral Leadership) and Cleveland State University (Arabic and Islamic Studies). He is married to Monica, an Occupational Therapist in the Cleveland Public Schools and they have 3 grown children.
Upon retirement, Keith embarked upon a unique personal pilgrimage. He underwent training to acquire a Commercial Driver’s License and spent the next two and a half years working as a “big rig” truck driver. He spent one year driving “over the road” for a major national company hauling bulk liquid chemicals throughout the eastern United States. He then spent a year and a half working for a family owned local company hauling and delivering fuels, petroleum products and other commodities. In the Spring of 2024, he became a school bus driver for a local school district while simultaneously taking up duties as the part-time Interim Rector of St. Hubert’s, Kirtland Hills.
Keith enjoys practicing yoga, weightlifting, swimming, bicycling, film, and reading history and historical fiction. Before he visits Put-in-Bay this summer, he and Monica will have spent 3 weeks camping, biking and hiking along the north shore of Lake Superior in Ontario, and he has just returned from several weeks serving summer chapels in Whitefield, New Hampshire and Wellfleet, Massachusetts.
