We're still celebrating our CBFVA graduates over here! Let's learn more about Victoria Fitzgerald in her words:

What is one piece of encouragement you would offer to someone discerning a call to ministry?
Seek! Wise! Counsel! There are so many career paths that may try to sell you on the value of independence as a way of life, but those voices don't speak aptly to the depth of joy and enrichment that comes with chasing after the heart of God with a broad community alongside you in ministry. There's no need to try to "go it alone" here! Reach across race, denomination, gender, ability, and more to broaden your sense of just how deep and wide God's love really is, then lead from what you find!

Where do you sense God leading you next?
I sense that Spirit has offered me a gentle call to one next step at a time, starting with taking a summer unit of Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) at VCU, then to ordination through Williamsburg Baptist Church. I welcome you to join me in praying for the proverbial "flashlight" of God's plan to continue to show me each next step as it comes.

What was your go-to coffee shop order during seminary?
LARGE brown sugar cinnamon latte with oat milk!
