David Waters, Minister for Education and Membership
David Waters joined King’s Chapel as Minister for Education and Membership in the summer of 2019. A native of New York with an abiding love for Seattle—and a burgeoning affection for Boston!—David grew up in New York, Texas, and Illinois before joining the U.S. Navy in 1997. After a richly rewarding career as a Navy Counselor, including tours in Japan, Seattle, and Southern Maryland, he left the Navy in 2013 to complete his BA in English from St. Mary’s College, Maryland’s public honors college.
At Harvard Divinity School, David has combined his academic interests in religion, literature, and culture with an exploration of scholarship and teaching as ministry, and reading and writing as spiritual practice, in the Master of Divinity program. He is currently at work on a thesis examining a series of interconnected short stories by Virginia Woolf, asking how these stories—and the method of their composition—work to shape us religiously, spiritually, and ethically.
When not reading or writing, David enjoys good eating, distance running, and hearty laughter. He is enormously grateful for the King’s Chapel community and for the opportunity to be in their midst as one who serves.
