Rev. Ridgley Beckett
Associate Pastor
Ridgley has served as Associate Pastor at St. John’s Presbyterian Church since June 2017. Before coming to St. John’s, Ridgley ministered with congregations in Atlanta, Georgia; Spartanburg, South Carolina; and Charleston, South Carolina. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Business Economics from Converse College and earned dual degrees—a Master of Divinity and a Master of Practical Theology with a focus in Christian Education—from Columbia Theological Seminary in Decatur, Georgia.
Ridgley is a certified Enneagram Practitioner for individuals and teams and is currently pursuing a Certificate in Executive Leadership at Princeton Theological Seminary. Her passions include faith formation, leadership development, and helping people better understand themselves and one another as they grow in discipleship.
When she’s not driving the van on youth trips or serving around St. John’s, Ridgley serves on the board of the Ride to End Alzheimer’s SC, advocating and fundraising for a cure for Alzheimer’s disease. She is also a foster volunteer with a local lab rescue and is often joined by Seamus, a sweet silver lab and St. John’s beloved “church dog.” In her free time, Ridgley loves camping, cycling, and creating—especially when it involves being outdoors.
