Rev. Glory Cumbow

I’m recently ordained in the Presbyterian Church (USA) and serving as an associate pastor. I graduated in May 2018 with my Master of Divinity and a Master of Arts in Practical Theology (MAPT). With my MAPT I specialized in worship. I love words, and worship offers an opportunity to craft words that lead us to God’s heart. Through prayers, hymns, sermons, and even silence, the words (or lack of words) invite the Holy Spirit to move among us.
I am still searching for my identity as a minister, and I am leaning toward my gift for words. I have been writing for quite some time, but I am now pursuing publication and blogging. I love preaching, teaching, writing liturgy, and using the arts in ministry. I have a degree in theatre and have a passion for performance and creative expression. While I love all things traditional in the church (hymns, stained glass windows, organs, SATB choirs, robes and stoles), I am learning that the traditional church may not be the permanent home I have long thought it to be. I am opening my heart to the guidance of the Spirit to see what new terrain I might find to minister the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

I offer interviews for clergy of all denominations, and faith leaders of varying religions on my blog, which will be launching in 2019.
I offer baptism, weddings, communion, speaking events, teaching, and preaching.
I offer written liturgy, devotionals, articles, and lesson plans.
I offer youth leadership for Bible study and worship.
I offer art and theatre camps or workshops.
