The Reverend Blake Rambo and his wife Carol Harrison Rambo are both native Floridians. Although, Father Blake, as he likes to be called, was actually born in Montgomery, Alabama, his family was from Tampa Florida. He grew up in Tampa and has lived all over the Central Florida region. His wife Carol, grew up in Orlando, Florida.

Father Blake has been a professional musician and is an alumni of Stetson University, DeLand, Florida, where he graduated with honors earning a degree in Music Education. He taught Pre-K - 8th grade music and taught drums and piano in private lessons.

Church leadership had always been a part of Father Blake’s life. He was a Youth Minister, Music Minister, Sunday School Teacher and held many other roles in the church over the years. In 1990 the call to become a priest became evident in his life. He attended seminary at The University of the South, the School of Theology, Sewanee, TN, and earned a Masters of Divinity Degree. As a priest in The Episcopal Church, he served in Central Florida and North Carolina. Over the past few years he has an interim priest all over the Diocese of Central Florida. He has also been invited to be guest a preacher, teacher, musician at various other churches and groups throughout Florida. Father Blake has studied meditative prayer with Norbertine Monks, Centering Prayer with the Very Reverend Dr. Tom Ward, Chaplain of the University of the South, and other meditation and healing practices with many other noted clergy. He is a member of the Order of St. Luke, an organization dedicated to the practice and teaching of the healing arts.

After much prayer and deliberation, the Search Committee and Vestry issued a call to Father Blake to serve as Full-Time Rector/Priest. He was installed in August 2007. Father Blake had served as Priest-in-Charge at St. Paul's for a year prior to his being called.

"My vision for the church, is to be a shepherd that guides St. Paul’s into becoming a place where Christ’s love is taught and experienced. Our goal should be to grow in Christ’s love, to share Christ’s love with our community and the world so they know we are Christians by our love. It is my hope that St Paul’s will grow because we are providing meaningful worship and a place where people feel loved and encouraged. It will be my task to challenge others to give of themselves so that together we can experience the miraculous love and healing power of Christ! We will demonstrate to the world how a church is a place that offers support and love each other so we can enjoy the blessings of life that God has given us. I hope to help build a place where all people are welcomed and learn how wonderful it is to be a part of the family of God!"

"We’re all in this together!"
