PARKSIDE LEADERSHIP
Parkside’s leaders hail from a diverse background of many different denominations and generations. We’re guided by an ordained minister, plus elected elders and elected deacons. Nothing too hierarchal here, but nothing loosey-goosey either.
Rev. Colin Kerr
Minister
Colin Kerr (M.Div) is the founding pastor of Parkside Church. Prior to imagining Parkside, he spent eight years assisting historic congregations with church renewal strategies, planting a new multi-campus college ministry at College of Charleston and the Citadel, and received the Baird Prize for Preaching at seminary. Colin has authored four books, of which one is actually worth buying. He has a passion for beach volleyball, whiskey, and budget travel. Colin is grateful every day to be married to his partner in love, life, and ministry, Erin, and is a doting dad to his daughters Arland and Abigail. His fourth and hopefully final book, Faith Hope Love: The Essentials of Christianity for the Curious, Confused, and Skeptical, is available in hardcover and ebook. He can be reached here.
Erin Kerr
Director of Worship
Director of Presbyterian Campus Ministry
Erin (MAT) is a Charleston native and lover of all things artistic and holds three degrees, while currently pursuing a Masters of Mission at the University of Dubuque Theological Seminary. She has spent the past two decades using her music gifts to serve in various churches across the Lowcountry. In 2021, Erin was asked to lead campus ministry for the Charleston Atlantic Presbytery at the College of Charleston (Empowher) and Citadel Military College (Presbyterian Journey). When Erin is not composing, gigging at local shows, or leading coffee shop bible studies, she is proudly raising two beautiful and spirited daughters, Abigail and Arland. She’s married to the best man she knows and who also happens to be the love of her life, Colin. She can be reached here.
Elizabeth Vice
Theologian to Children
Elizabeth Vice began her journey as an educator at the feet of her mother who loved learning and sharing what she learned with others. She has years of training and education both in human development, Montessori pedagogy, and theology. She finds great joy while bouldering and gardening, and relaxes by weaving on a ten foot loom. She’s also a fan of British TV mysteries – the sillier the better. Elizabeth lives in the Park Circle neighborhood with her husband, Daniel, which keeps her close to her two adult children Andrew and Iah. She can be reached here.
Steven Bramlett
Media / Creative Consultant
Steven Bramlett (Realtor ® & BA Biblical Studies) has seen some things. What things? Well, he went to Liberty University for starters. But despite that, Steven still brings his passion for people and the city of Charleston to the Parkside community. With a degree in Biblical Studies and ministry jobs as a teaching pastor, youth minister, and church planter, he has plenty of different tools in his ministerial toolbox to offer Parkside community groups. Always willing to listen (and talk), please feel free to say hi to Steven and his family. He can be reached here.
