Leigh Woods

Director of Women’s Ministry

Leigh and her family moved to Tuscaloosa from Atlanta last June. After connecting through the summer Bible study, VBS, and student ministry, they quickly felt at home and joined the church.

Leigh is excited to support the women’s Bible studies throughout the week and to help foster connection through gatherings like the Christmas party and winter retreat. She loves the faith, friendship, and fellowship that form when women of all ages come together.

Leigh and her husband, Ben, met at the University of Virginia and have been married for 22 years. They have two sons, Rucker (16) and Mack (12), who both enjoy playing soccer.

Preston Adair

Counseling Project Director

Preston Adair will serve as Trinity’s Counseling Project Director, where she will explore and evaluate the feasibility of developing an on-site counseling center that could serve both our church family and the broader Tuscaloosa community. Preston previously served on staff at Trinity with our student ministry, and we are grateful to welcome her back in this new role.

“I am thrilled to be joining the staff as the Counseling Project Director. In May, I will graduate with a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling.

I am currently completing my clinical training in private practice and at The University of Alabama Counseling Center, experiences that have deepened my passion for walking alongside individuals and families with care and compassion. It is a privilege to consider how Trinity can be part of the Lord’s work in bringing hope and healing to individuals and families in our community. I am grateful for the opportunity to serve in this role. 

My husband, Charlie, and I will celebrate 30 years of marriage this August. We have three adult children and a new son-in-law, and we are adjusting to life as empty nesters. In this season, I especially enjoy spending time with our family, exercising with friends, good conversation around a kitchen table, needlepoint, and reading. I am truly excited to be rejoining the church staff!”

Belong Coordinator (Disability Ministry)

Debbie Glass will serve as Trinity’s Belong Coordinator, leading and developing a Christ-centered disability ministry that celebrates and supports children, adults, and families affected by disability.

They have been married for 37 years and have two children, Kaitlyn and Jamie, and five grandchildren. Debbie and Robert have been members at Trinity for many years and are grateful to continue serving the church in this new way.

Debbie sees ability in all people, not disability.
