As the Director of Grants & Research for the Foundations, Rory oversees the grant process from award application to final report. Serving as the Executive Director of FaithHealth Appalachia from 2020-2026, Rory helped connect hospital patients with local faith communities and social services to better address their health-related social needs. This experience, combined with a number of grant awards on the local, regional, and federal level, proves invaluable in his role at MHN Foundations to support Marshall Health Network.
With a degree from Liberty University and a Master of Divinity from The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Rory felt the urge and call to minister in Appalachia. Rory is one of the pastors at Redemption Church in Huntington, and currently serves on the board of Covenant School, Ebenezer Medical Outreach, Hospice of Huntington, and the Highlawn Community Alliance. He and his wife reside in Huntington, WV with their two children.
