David Waters
Minister for Education
David Waters joined King’s Chapel as Minister for Education and Membership in the summer of 2019. 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 B.A. in English from St. Mary’s College of Maryland before earning an M.Div. from Harvard Divinity School.
While at HDS, David combined his academic interests in religion, literature, and culture with an exploration of scholarship and teaching as ministry. His thesis examined a series of interconnected short stories by Virginia Woolf, asking how these stories work to shape us religiously, spiritually, and ethically. He also served as president of Harambe: Students of African Descent, and as a volunteer with Tuesday Meals, a program of First Parish in Cambridge providing evening meals to those in need.
When not reading or writing, David enjoys good eating, distance running, and volunteering. He is enormously grateful for the King’s Chapel community and for the opportunity to be in their midst as one who serves.
