Deacon Kim Crecca

Rev. Kim Crecca is an ordained deacon in the Episcopal church and is currently serving at the Episcopal Church of St. Matthews in Tucson. She is heavily involved in ministering to those affected by incarceration and raising awareness about the adverse effects of mass incarceration. From 2012 through 2018, she was part of a team that continues to lead Episcopal worship services at the Perryville Women’s Prison in Goodyear. Since 2014, she has been the Convener of the Episcopal Diocese of Arizona’s Prison Ministry Program whose purpose is to help Episcopal and other churches in the state of Arizona embrace and assist those affected by incarceration through a variety of outreach opportunities. In addition, she is involved in Camp Genesis at Chapel Rock, a program that provides a safe and fun camping experience for children who have one or more parent currently incarcerated. She also coordinates the Perryville art shows held 4 times a year. Rev. Crecca is committed to sharing information about the human costs and collateral consequences of incarceration and how the church can better serve those that Jesus called “the least of these”. She is always thrilled to share the joy she has received from this ministry with others.
