Erin Osborne joined the Saint Micahel staff as Coordinator of Small Groups in April of 2022. She has been a member of Saint Michael and All Angels since 1990.
Erin grew up in the windy Panhandle town of Pampa, Texas, a “cradle Episcopalian,” where she was an acolyte, led VBS, and never missed a Pancake Supper. She attended Southern Methodist University, receiving first her BA, then MA in clinical and counseling psychology, focusing on family systems. She then completed her MTS in Biblical Studies at Perkins School of Theology.
Erin spent her twenties and thirties working with children and their families as a school counselor and learning specialist. With the birth of her youngest, she focused her energy on raising her children and immersing herself in seminary training.
Erin has initiated and facilitated small group discipleship for years. She teaches a women’s Bible study out of her home, leads prayer meetings, teaches Sunday school, and stays active with multiple missional advocacy and outreach programs in the metroplex.
For Erin, spiritual formation is like a team sport. “As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.” (Proverbs 27:17) We are created to live in relationship with one another, and we all need a safe place to feel belonging, be curious, playful, contemplative, even fearful and regretful. Small groups are integral to our formation in Christ and our love for our neighbor. They gift us accountability, both calming and disturbing our waters. Small groups are where we learn to be the church, not go to church.
Erin is the lucky wife of Vic Schmerbeck and the proud mother of five children aged twelve to twenty-two.
The Reverend Greg Pickens grew up in Oklahoma and came to Texas for college. Following his undergraduate degree at the University of Texas, Greg worked in the professional/executive search industry and in the computer services industry. In 1999, he began working toward the ordained ministry through the Diocese of Dallas. During his theological studies at Nashotah House in Wisconsin, Greg chose to work in at a downtown Milwaukee parish because of its diverse, urban setting. It was there he met his wife, Noralyn, and her daughter, Annie. After graduation and ordination to the Deaconate, he returned to Dallas. Following a short season as a Deacon, Greg was ordained to the priesthood in 2006 and served as Rector of St. Mark’s Episcopal Church in Irving, before being called to Saint Michael and All Angels in 2011.
Rob Springer has served in ministry as a small group/connections pastor, a worship leader, and church planter in Indiana, California and Florida and he served as a short-term missionary in Gyor, Hungary, helping develop house churches for young adults and the unchurched. Most recently Rob has worked in higher education with donor/alumni and student engagement, events and fundraising/major gift development for Tyler Junior College and the University of Texas at Tyler Soules College of Business.
A Texas native, Rob returned to his home state in 2016 from Indiana where he had been working as the Redevelopment Commission Executive Director for the City of Shelbyville and the Executive Director for the MDA of Central Indiana. He is a Desert Storm USMC Veteran having served during his time at Baylor University (Waco, TX) where he received his undergraduate degree in business administration and marketing. He later completed an MDiv with an emphasis in worship renewal at Regent University (Virginia Beach, VA). He also has a certificate in community development from Ball State University and his community block grant administrator certification from the Indiana office of Community and Rural Affairs (OCRA).
Rob has four sons Noah (20), Samuel (19), Elijah (15) and Levi (12). He is passionate about diversity, inclusivity and collaboratively working with others to increase the quality of life for all people. He also has a love and appreciation for music, the arts, community development, interior design and enjoys meeting new and interesting people. One of his greatest hopes is to use his gifts, passion and life experiences to share the incredible messageWHEN: 1st Monday of each month**, 1:45 to 3 p.m.

A contribution to the Flower Fund is a meaningful way to honor or remember a loved one for special life events such as birthdays, anniversaries, baptisms, confirmations, thanksgivings, or in memory of a loved one.
