Rev. Dr. Carmin A. Frederick-James

Associate Pastor of Online Engagement and Community Outreach at Covenant United Church of Christ

Rev. Dr. Carmin A. Frederick-James is the Associate Pastor of Online Engagement and Community Outreach at Covenant United Church of Christ. She obtained her Doctor of Ministry from Christian Theological Seminary in Indianapolis, Indiana. Her Doctor of Ministry Project was entitled “IN TO ME SEE: A sermonic model for uncovering intimacy in today’s teens.”  

Through online engagement and community outreach, her desire is to live out and minister from a ‘re-membered’ intimacy such that those who she is called to serve might do the same.  A ‘re-membered’ intimacy is a sense of connection and relationship with God, self, and others that heals from past historical and personal wounds to move forward in the intimacy that God desires.

She holds a Master of Divinity from the Samuel DeWitt Proctor School of Theology-Virginia Union University, a Master of Health Sciences in Communication Sciences and Disorders from Governors State University, a Bachelor of Science in Speech and Hearing Science, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.   

Her favorite scripture is Isaiah 43:16-20 (The Message), “Forget about what’s happened; don’t keep going over old history. Be alert, be present. I’m about to do something brand-new. It’s bursting out! Don’t you see it? There it is! I’m making a road through the desert, rivers in the badlands.” Her favorite prayer is “The Peace Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi.”
