"I have been a priest for twenty-three years. My experiences in congregations during those years has been a gift and wonder to me. As I look forward to the next twenty years of ministry I am convinced that the work I have been challenged to do in this doctoral program will form and shape those years. This program has provided tools and a language for ministry that make sense in this new century. I am deeply grateful for this experience and I would recommend it without reservation to anyone seeking a new vision for the church in this age."

Consulting Services for Judicatories and Congregations

The Episcopal Church’s most cutting-edge Doctor of Ministry program produces graduates in congregational studies who are well qualified to lead congregations and dioceses/judicatories into a missional future. Graduates of the program, guest presenters and Seabury faculty provide a network of experience and expertise in the areas of congregational size transitions, new church plants, effective community outreach, healthy models of church leadership, and new models for church community. Most of our consultants are current practitioners of the areas in which they offer advice and guidance. In recent years we have entered into consulting relationships with single parishes, diocesan or judicatory staffs, and larger clusters of congregations.
