Help us share the good news about

From Deep Roots, New Life!

"I had the incredible privilege of being a curate for four years at the beginning of my ministry. It allowed me time to get used to being a priest, to learn how to perform the sacraments so that they became a part of who I was. I’ve also had the incredible privilege of serving with curates at St. John’s, which for me as a rector has been enlivening. These new priests bring such energy and vibrancy and new ways of thinking into our communities.”

— The Rev. Rob Stevens

This week’s testimonial video features the Rev. Rob Stevens, rector at St. John's in Portsmouth and co-chair of the From Deep Roots, New Life capital campaign. In his ministry, he has both served as a curate and worked with curates, making him well-qualified to praise the benefits of the Bishop's Curates Fund—one of the five funding priorities of the campaign—which helps churches hire promising, newly ordained clergy that they could not otherwise afford.
