Greetings,

We are excited to be in the Thirteenth Episcopal District. Thank you for this privilege of serving you, the faith-filled AME leaders and members in Kentucky and Tennessee. We are ready to work with you in serving God and God’s people. 

As we approach this new season in the life of the 13th District, our motto is “The Thriving Thirteenth:  Praying, Praising and Pressing.”  Focusing on these principles—prayer, praise and pressing—God will meet us, and we will continue to thrive as a District. With the hopes of further enhancing the district, through enabling, empowering, and encouraging, we plan to continue the programs and ministries already established while introducing new opportunities to serve. Together, we will advance God’s kingdom while serving people in need.

We invite you to attend the Annual Conference series and other gatherings. We look forward to meeting you. By spending time with the people, we welcome the opportunity to learn more about the 13th District.

Along with our daughter, Ms. Shari Nicole Seawright, our son, Rev. Harry Matthew Seawright, and our grandson, Bro. Cameron Isaiah Seawright, we look forward to working with you while trusting God to direct us in ministering to the spiritual, intellectual, physical, emotional, and environmental needs of all people by spreading Christ’s liberating gospel through word and deed.

Remember: We are “The Thriving Thirteenth”!
