Rev. Dr. Carol Fleming joined the Outer Banks Presbyterian Church staff as Interim Pastor in January, 2026.
Dr. Fleming, or Carol as she prefers to be called, was born and raised in Villanova, PA, where she was very active in a large Presbyterian Church in Bryn Marr as a youth and young adult. After graduating from Hood College in Frederick, MD, she went on to achieve her Masters in Divinity from Princeton Theological Seminary. There she met her husband, Scott G. Loomer.
Together they pastored churches in Salem and Syracuse N.Y., while raising their three children, Alexandra, Charis and Garrett. Carol also served six years as Associate for Evangelism for the Synod of the Northeast while she also earned her Doctor of Ministry from Columbia Seminary.
After serving separate churches in Springfield, Ohio, they returned to Northeast Pennsylvania to serve separately in churches there for sixteen years. They later served together in the Covenant Presbyterian Church in Scranton, PA, for two years before their retirement at the end of 2021.
When they are not spending the winter months on the beautiful Outer Banks in their home in Corolla, Carol and Scott are with children and grandchildren in Frederick, Maryland. Summers can find them boating and hiking in the Adirondack mountains surrounding their small camp on Pleasant Lake in Stratford, New York.
For thirty years, Carol and Scott have attended the Outer Banks Presbyterian Church when vacationing, and now as residents.
