Rev. Dr. Nancy Birdsong
Pastor/Head of Staff
Nancy came to Southminster as Pastor / Head of Staff in October of 2017.
Nancy previously served as the Pastor/Head of Staff at The Presbyterian Church at Bound Brook, NJ. She is passionate about mission and has led congregations and communities in numerous new mission endeavors—locally, nationally and globally.
Nancy grew up in Richmond, Virginia, and has been a part of the Presbyterian Church since she was baptized as an infant. Her childhood included spending part of every summer at a Presbyterian camp, where she particularly enjoyed the mudslides, whitewater canoeing, and hiking on the Appalachian Trail.
Nancy is an artist whose works have been displayed in professional galleries and exhibits. While the demands of ministry in recent years have limited her time for painting, she still finds it to be nurturing to her spirit. She also enjoys music, poetry, drama and “anything creative.” Her favorite vacation destination is anywhere that lets her swim in the ocean, walk along the shore, and smell the salt air.
