Leadership

The Rev. Dr. Kimberly Wagner, Assistant Professor of Preaching, Princeton Theological Seminary

Dr. Wagner is passionate about helping church professionals and communities navigate an ever-changing world and church. Her work focuses on preaching, teaching, and ministry in the midst and wake of trauma—particularly collective trauma—and the resources of Scripture and faith to respond to these moments.

Her new book, Fractured Ground: Preaching in the Wake of Mass Trauma, looks at our role in response to trauma from violence, natural disasters, and disease.

Come, enjoy the gifts of fellowship with colleagues, the beauty of Hocking Hills and the new conference center, and the teaching and ministry of Kimberly Wagner.
