Jerusalem & Nathan Greer
Co-Executive Directors
Jerusalem Jackson Greer is Co-Executive Director and Agrarian Minister for the Procter Center, an Episcopal Farm, Camp, and Retreat center in the Diocese of Southern Ohio. As former Manager of Evangelism and Discipleship for The Episcopal Church under Presiding Bishop Curry, she co-founded the Good News Garden movement and oversaw Way of Love and Evangelism initiatives for the wider church. She is also the author of two books, At Home in this Life: Finding Peace at the Crossroads of Unraveled Dreams and Beautiful Surprises and A Homemade Year: The Blessings of Cooking, Crafting and Coming Together, both published by Paraclete Press, as well as multiple Episcopal curricula including the Abundant Life Garden Project for Episcopal Relief & Development. Jerusalem recently completed her MA from Wartburg Theological Seminary with an emphasis on Rural Ministry. Jerusalem is an associate of the Community of Saint Mary, Southern Provence, co-host of the Spade, Spoon, Soul podcast and in-demand speaker, preacher, and contributor around the topics of outdoor and agrarian ministry, discipleship, evangelism, leadership, and the ministry of belonging in an era of loneliness.
Nathaniel W. Greer has loved church camp, farming, and the outdoors since childhood. Growing up on his grandparent’s farm, he learned firsthand what it means to live a life rooted in the land. His first career was in State Parks hospitality. With his wife, Jerusalem Greer, he managed their farm, Preservation Acres, which was a hub of agricultural and small group ministry for the Episcopal community in Faulkner County, Arkansas. After a second successful career in IT, he switched gears in 2021 to his true love – agrarian ministry – and served as the Farm Steward, Host, and Gamekeeper for Stonebridge Farm in Stillwater, New Jersey. Nathan has served in church ministry as a lay member in various ways – from Lector to Eucharistic Minister to Small Group leader and musician. He is excited to share his new work with the Dioceses of Southern Ohio and all who visit Procter.
Jerusalem and Nathan have three young adult children — Wylie, Miles Greer, and Connor Fearing — and one son-in-life, Elliot Kemp, who are their favorite humans.

Operations Director
For over 23 years, Robin has greeted guests of Procter. From the ground up, she has built Procter’s Guest Services, but her role has grow to oversee much of the opperations that keep Procter running smoothly day-to-day.
Rev. Libbie Crawford
Resident Deacon
“While I was in Deacon School at Procter, we were asked about serving in some capacity at Procter for Summer Camp(s). I thought about it and discerned it was something I needed to do. Jerusalem and I talked and discerned together what that might look like. I was to be Chaplain to the Counselors. Of course, I said YES! …
And it became so much more. I found myself being a listening ear to the counselors, the staff, and the campers. I rediscovered my love of tie-dye, using discarded objects for crafts, and making collages out of all kinds of materials. I was an extra pair of hands and a calming spirit to those who needed a break from all the activities around us.
Over this past summer, I slowly realized that Procter felt like home to me spiritually and physically. It is a place that fosters community from disparate groups of people and often provides a way to connect with nature and an appreciation for the care of creation. …
Looking back on this call, I see God as asking me to help with reclaiming Procter Camp and Conference Center as one of the spiritual centers for the Diocese of Southern Ohio, as a Deacon with one foot in the church and one foot in the world, standing at the threshold. I heard Spirit call, and I said YES!”
Hannah Teetor
Assistant Camp Director
Hannah became an Episcopalian and Procter camper in the summer of 1996. Growing up in Cincinnati, she aspired to be a camp counselor and achieved that dream, joining the 2013 staff at Procter Summer Camp. While her heart for family ministry grew, Hannah lived in community with Brendan’s Crossing, interned at Calvary Clifton, then graduated from Emory University. She spent three years as Director of Children and Family Ministry at Christ Church Cathedral, Cincinnati and since 2020 has worked at Church of the Redeemer in Cincinnati focusing recently on family discipleship.
Sarah Alpin
Farm Manager and Commonage Coordinator
Bio and photo coming soon! In the meantime, here’s a message from Nathan about how awesome Sarah is:
“Back when Jerusalem worked for former Presiding Bishop Michael Curry, at the church-wide office, I would (for obvious reasons, and when my schedule would allow) often try to tag along for the big, exciting events like festivals and revival meetings. To justify my existence there, I would volunteer to help wherever help was needed. This often meant that I was assigned to Sarah Alphin, who was the associate and administrator for – what seemed like – almost every department, including Creation Care and Evangelism, and the de facto coordinator of the unskilled manual labor on these large projects. I knew immediately, upon first working with her, that she had an amazing aptitude for project management, the strongest of work ethics, and the kind of attitude that makes even difficult work a lot of fun. Later on, when she came to our house in New Jersey with the Good News Gardens leadership team for a working retreat, Sarah and I had the opportunity to sit on the front porch late one night and discuss our shared ideas and hopes about work, vocation, and ministry. When the farm manager job at Procter opened, Sarah was the first person I thought of, although it seemed like a stretch that we could convince her to move halfway across the country to do farm work in the sunshine. Friends, I am pleased to report that we did, in fact, convince her. This is a very exciting development and the start of a new era on the Procter Farm. Sarah, Jerusalem, and I were immediately scheming, plotting, and planning for all the exciting ways we can improve things up the hill. I can’t wait for you to meet her and get a taste of her infectious spirit.”
Wylie Greeson
Resident Assistant for Farm and Programs
Writer, scientist, jack of all trades, if there is a skill to be learned — Wylie wants to try it.
Starting originally as a farm hand, Wylie now writes and runs Procter’s Farm Camp and Camp WILD programs (ask us about those!), where he is excited to work under Jerusalem bringing creation care to us all.
Wylie still likes to keep his hands dirty with the compost & slop initiative, and farm with Nathan and Ryan.

A master of many skills, Nathaniel works daily to keep the inner workings of Procter’s grounds and buildings functioning. Procter is like a city, with our own water and waste water plant. A person has to know how do a lot of different things to run the maintenance and grounds department at Procter. We appreciate Nathaniel for keeping things running and looking nice at Procter.
