Kristin Klade
PASTOR
Kristin is a native Fort Worthian: a hospice chaplain by day, dance teacher and preacher-pub-church-organizer by night. She was ordained in 2015 in the Lutheran (ELCA) tradition after receiving her MDiv from the Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago. She also has a BA in Religious Studies and a BFA in Ballet Pedagogy from the University of Oklahoma (much to pastor Phil’s chagrin). Kristin focusses on pastoral theology that considers the suffering she sees each day as a chaplain. She has been preaching at Kyrie for 10 years and considers it one of the greatest privileges of her life, aside from her role as mom to her kids: Frank and Winifred. Some of her other interests include interfaith dialogue, end-of-life planning, and brewing kombucha.
Sean O’Neil
PASTOR
Sean is a pastor, educator, and author. Having written and spoken openly about personal struggles and liberating victories related to mental health, Sean is passionate about helping people find pathways to peace. He is also enamored with God’s creation, so when he is not
preaching, you will often find him at Kyrie with a furry friend. Sean
appreciates both his Canadian-American identity and Pentecostal-Catholic upbringing. He wants to help people who don’t fit into boxes to find their place in God’s expansive love.
Mallory O’Neil
Deacon
Mallory spent several years in academic settings where she both studied and taught about religious institutions and Cold War politics. Although she has since pivoted to a career in IT, she continues to explore the faith and justice issues that first motivated her academic pursuits. These passions inform her current ministry. As a deacon, she believes the best way to show God’s love is to care for people’s physical welfare, and as such she situates herself in the three locations of ministry: the church, the world, and the margins. In her free time, you can find her caring for her pets, watching Doctor Who, or reading horror novels.
Rebecca Chase
Intern
In August 2025 we said goodbye to our intern Rebecca Chase! Kyrie sends all our best to Rebecca as she awaits a call to become a pastor.
