MEET OUR PASTOR

Drew Ditzel was born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia in the Presbyterian Church. He is a graduate of Davidson College and Columbia Theological Seminary, and recently returned to Columbia to pursue a Doctorate in Ministry. Prior to his current role at Lexington Presbyterian Church, Rev. Ditzel served Kairos Presbyterian Church in Atlanta for eight years as the senior pastor.

Drew has a passion for teaching and learning. He is fascinated by the endless power and relevance of Holy Scripture and enjoys nothing more than discussing the ways God continues to speak through these old words, whether it be over coffee, in a classroom, or from the pulpit. He believes the greatest privilege of being a pastor occurs when he is invited into holy moments of sorrow and joy with others and is able to witness the God of grace at work.

Drew and his wife first met on a mission trip with their high school youth group. They have three children who love school, music, sports and scouts. The Ditzel family enjoys being outside and have a family goal of visiting every National Park together. In his free time, Drew loves to garden and propagate plants, paint with acrylics, and read.
