Emmanuel Anglican Church Vestry
Administrative Assistant: Claudia Dalrymple
Claudia R Dalrymple is a successful Senior Manager retiree of 31 years from UCSD Housing and Dining Services where she was responsible for staffing and operations of serving the campus population, coordinating theme events and Fine Dining, and provided meals for elite conference groups. She currently spends her time as the administrative assistant for Emmanuel Anglican Church.
Her love of God and church has led her to past positions as senior warden on a vestry (Leadership board), while being part of the “Daughters of the King” women’s discipleship community. A few examples of the various ministry groups in and outside of the church Claudia has been a part of are: Omega Ministry for families in their time of loss of a loved one, hospitality coordinator, delivering meals with ECS for the homeless and providing services for families of domestic violence.
Her love of cooking and event planning eventually turned into a successful family catering business for several years. In her leisure time she enjoys music, water aerobics, walks for charity groups and bowling.
Claudia is happily married to her Barbadian husband George for 14 years and hopes to spend their golden years travelling.

Rev. Chris Bodiford, Rector of Emmanuel Anglican Church
Pictured above is Fr. Chris Bodiford at his ordination to the sacred order of priests on September 15, 2017, and him baptizing his second daughter Ruth on Pentecost Sunday 2021. Abigail Bodiford is their 6 year old daughter and Kasi is his intelligent wife on his shoulders!
Chris and his bride Kasi moved to Chula Vista California in 2018 after Kasi received a position as a resident physician having graduated from medical school. This is the location where they began serving their community and asking God to bless their church planting efforts. He met his bride Kasi at California Baptist University in Riverside where he received a Bachelor’s Degree in Christian Studies in 2011, shortly after a powerful conversion. Chris received his Master’s of Divinity degree in the summer of 2017 from Bethel Seminary in San Diego.
His passion is found in creating community where intentional formation and healing can take place in holistic ways. To do this, walking the neighborhood and getting to know his neighbors is the normal pattern of the week. Furthermore, when he has time, running, reading, and working with his hands are all life-giving hobbies of interest.
We are expecting to add more names and photos as the staff expands and the vestry forms in the coming months and years. Stay tuned!
