Danny Trapp

Pastor

Rev. Danny Trapp joined Robinson Presbyterian Church as our full-time pastor on March 1st, 2021, after serving us as a supply pastor a few Sundays in January and February. Danny is a native of Sumter SC and a graduate of Wofford College and Union Presbyterian Seminary at Charlotte. He has been married to Scottie for 36 years and they are parents to adult daughters Simmons Purdy, 31 and Catherine Trapp, 28. They have lived in Charlotte for 35 years, the last 33 of them in the Cotswold neighborhood.

Danny took a circuitous route to ministry. After college graduation he became a management trainee at NCNB (Bank of America) and worked in various finance and banking positions in Columbia and Charlotte for 25 years. Life-long Presbyterians, Danny and Scottie joined Myers Park Presbyterian church in 1989 and immediately became involved in the life of the church. Danny began feeling a pull toward ministry in the mid-1990’s and, by his own account, “fought the call for 10 years” before enrolling in seminary in 2007. This move coincided with a vocational shift and he left the corporate world to manage a non-profit program that worked with the court system on alternative sentencing for felony offenders and later ran the case management team for the county pretrial release program.
