Dennis Land
Vestry Class of 2024
Descending from Kimble County pioneer stock, Dennis' family has had a presence in Kimble county for over a century. Returning to take responsibility for the family ranch three years ago he is involved in raising cattle and goats. He and wife Payden, a practicing PA at Kimble Hospital & Clinic, are proud parents of Alma, who in the spring of 2022 will be a year old. The Lands have been an active part of Trinity parish for over a year. In addition to his ranching responsibilities, Dennis is employed as a Disaster Program Specialist for American Red Cross. He is pursuing graduate studies in Public Administration at Texas Tech University. Dennis enjoys sampling craft beers, good wine and the beverage the Scots refer to as "The Water of Life." Dennis and Payden were confirmed and joined our parish because, according to Dennis, "We have found a loving, caring family environment where we believe Alma can be loved and nurtured to grow up into the fullness of who she was created to be."

She has a passion for young people in our community. Traci says the thing she loves most about Trinity is the sense of family.
Sterling McKinney
Vestry Class of 2024
Having been born in Kerrville, Texas Sterling, as the saying goes, "wasn't born in Kimble County, but she got here as quickly as she could." Sterling was raised in this parish. She recalls, as a very young child, sleeping in the pew on Sunday morning. She was baptized, confirmed and married here and, with a full heart, recalls burial services for both her beloved grandparents in this parish. A locally renowned culinarian, Sterling has enjoyed satisfying the gastric rumblings of untold numbers of Kimble County folks over the years. When she's not busy in the kitchen, she helps Traci Phillips run Hill Country Homestead and Ranch Real Estate, in downtown Junction. At Trinity, she has previously served as an acolyte and as a Vestry member. She is proud mom to three children. She finds enjoyment in her cooking as well as the outdoors. She finds fulfillment in interior design work as well. Sterling especially loves watching her two teenagers growing and maturing. She says, "Trinity will always be a part of me, it feels like home."
