The Reverend Chris Leung

The Rev. Chris Leung joined St. James's as Assistant Rector on January 7, 2026. Chris brings extraordinary gifts to our community. Born in Hong Kong and shaped by her Jamaican and Cantonese heritage, she rediscovered her faith in the Anglican tradition and went on to serve with the Episcopal Service Corps before graduating from Virginia Theological Seminary this past spring. During her formation, she worked in the VTS Dean’s Office supporting major events and served on the General Convention Task Force on Imagining a Church Grounded in Social Justice. Chris is also a commissioned officer in the U.S. Air Force, completing Officer Training School and her first month of chaplain candidate training this summer. When she’s not serving the church, you might find her reading, studying mysticism and Hebrew, riding her motorcycle, traveling, or playing video games.
