Camden Windham, originally from Lexington, South Carolina, moved to Beaufort in May of 2018. Camden was not raised in the Church but came to know Jesus in the summer of 2012 as part of a student ministry. Since coming to faith, the Church has been the place that he has planted his feet. He graduated from Columbia International University in December of 2017 with a major in Bible and Youth Ministry. He continued his education at CIU by getting a Masters in Divinity in December of this past year. He has had educational training from Trinity School for Ministry and a Certificate in Anglican Studies from Nashotah House Theological Seminary.

He has a deep passion for the next generation, especially with equipping the next flock of leadership within the Church. Camden is grateful that he “happily stumbled” into Anglicanism. Camden and his wife, Kelly, have been married for six years. They have their first son, Flynn.

An ordination is not simply a service for the ordinands, their close friends and family. It’s a celebration for the whole church when one (or in this case three) are set apart; have their calling to ordained ministry recognized and affirmed; and are blessed and empowered by the laying on of hands by the bishop. If you are able, please join us for this joyful celebration.
