Reverend Carrie Nettles, MDiv, VSP
Carrie Walker Nettles earned a BA in Sociology from Clemson University and an M.Div. from Lutheran Theological Southern Seminary. Carrie has worked with the children’s ministries of several churches and as a child advocate with the Dee Norton Child Advocacy Center in Charleston, SC. She traveled to General Theological Seminary to study with Jerome Berryman, creator of Godly Play, developing a theology of the child. She completed her clinical pastoral education residency with the Spiritual Care department at Greenville Memorial Hospital where she worked across many units with a focus on the pediatric hospital and the pediatric mental health units. She has entered the board certification process with the APC. She is a member of the Association of Professional Chaplains and the Pediatric Chaplains Network and has been endorsed to chaplaincy by the Alliance of Baptists. In January of 2017, Carrie became the first staff chaplain serving a Child Advocacy Center in the United States. She has presented numerous times to nationwide gatherings of child protection professionals on the spiritual needs of the child and to clergy gatherings on child protection, trauma-sensitive pastoral care, and the insidious nature of religious predators. Together she and her spouse, Mason, parent two children (10 and 16) and herd a bunch of sheep.
