Meet Our Pastor

Payton Cody joined our staff in September as full time Pulpit Supply. Once her ordination is recognized within the Cumberland Presbyterian church, she will then officially be our Lead Pastor.

Payton has a Bachelor of Arts Degree in English from King University and a Graduate Degree in Ministry from Richmont Graduate University. She is currently working on her DMin in Leadership and Spiritual Formation from Richmont.

Payton is a Cleveland native. She is married to Trae, and they have three children: Ivie (8), Crosby (5), and Storie (2). In her spare time, she enjoys reading, being outdoors, exercising, enjoying a good cup of coffee, and spending time with her family.
