The Rev. Dr. Jane Maynard was called to St. Mark’s on November 20, 2022, to serve as our Interim Rector while we search for that special person who feels called to be our more permanent Rector (sometime in late 2023 or early 2024). We are very blessed to have her at St. Mark’s.
Before coming to St. Mark’s, Jane served four congregations in the Diocese of Olympia: most recently as an interim at St. Thomas, Medina in 2021-2022 where she had also served as interim in 2008-09. Jane worked as an interim at Good Samaritan in Sammamish and Epiphany in Seattle and as rector at Christ Church in Tacoma. Besides her work in parishes, Jane has a long and varied history in ministry. She served as a hospital chaplain in Boise and San Francisco, a pastoral counselor in Claremont, and a seminary professor at The Church Divinity School of the Pacific. While at CDSP, Jane taught courses in pastoral care and, as the Director of Field Education, placed and supported students preparing for ordination in parishes, chaplaincies, and agency ministries throughout the greater San Francisco Bay Area and beyond. Jane moved to Seattle in 2003 to serve as the interim Dean of the Diocese of Olympia’s School of Theology and Ministry.
Jane holds a B.A. in Psychology from the University of Pennsylvania, an M.A. in Developmental Psychology from the University of Illinois in Urbana, an M.Div. from the Church Divinity
School of the Pacific, an M.T.S. in Pastoral Counseling, and a Ph.D. in Religion and Personality from the Claremont School of Theology. Jane’s dissertation research focused on the writings of Julian of Norwich as a resource for survivors of traumatic loss resulting from AIDS.
Jane is married to Jim Treyens. They share a love of reading, traveling, and choral music. Together, they have three grown children: Dan, a fisheries biologist and whitewater enthusiast; Beckie, a renewable energy and energy efficiency expert and Marc, a network administrator with a passion for community service. They share their home with Coco, a one-year-old Havanese.
