Vicki and Bo arrived at Skyline July 1997 with a 3 year old daughter, Joy, and a 6 week old preemie son, Eli. They celebrated communion in the Grove their first Sunday and fell in love with the community of believers gathered here.

Pastoring is a second career for the Gordy-Stiths, who met each other at the Naval Academy, married after graduating in 1986 and served as naval officers for the next five years in San Diego, Japan, and Rhode Island.

They resigned their commissions to attend seminary at Duke Divinity School, graduating in 1994. They served separate churches in Maryland for three years before coming to Skyline as co-pastors.

Vicki is a third-generation Methodist pastor from Wilmington, Delaware and Salisbury, Maryland. She grew up loving God and active in Silverbrook and Trinity churches, where her father served as pastor.  Bo grew up in Knightdale, North Carolina, where family life revolved around Green Pines Baptist Church services three times a week.

Vicki and Bo love to sing. They experienced God’s call to ordained ministry while leading the Junior High Youth Group and singing praise concerts together at St. Paul’s UMC in San Diego. You can listen to some of their music here.

Our co-pastors share a passion for telling the old story in a new way—using drama, music and graphics. They love telling stories about how Jesus Christ surprises us with grace not in places we expect God to be, but in the midst of our ordinary lives. Skyline is the church community they say they have been searching for all their lives.
