CBE International is proud to support the education and ministry of Jocelyn Moore, Malorri Seamon, and Nicole Kelly Vickey!
Jocelyn Moore
Jocelyn is a third year student at Palmer Theological Seminary pursuing a Masters in Theological Studies. She is a member of New Mt. Calvary Baptist Church, in Mays Landing, New Jersey, where she serves as an ordained minister and the youth ministry director. Jocelyn also works full time at an educational nonprofit, where she leads the team toward improving culture and setting strategy. In addition, Jocelyn works part time as a DEI facilitator, supporting organizations on their journey toward greater anti-racism and equity. Jocelyn’s favorite verse is Ephesians 4:1, “I urge you, therefore, to lead a life worthy of your calling, for you have been called by God.” Each phase and sphere of her life has been guided by this challenge — to boldly say “yes” to God’s calling. Even when the “how” was unclear, God has provided. Receiving the AMMS award is just another example of God’s divine provision, and another opportunity for Jocelyn to continue to “lead a life worthy of [her] calling.”
Malorri Seamon
Nicole Kelly Vickey
Nicole Kelly Vickey is a second year MDiv hybrid student at Duke Divinity School. Raised in the Catholic Church, it took years for Nicole to reconcile her calling with her denomination’s lack of affirmation for the ordination of women. Prior to beginning seminary, she served as a pastor for three years at Envision Community Church, a progressive and non-denominational church in Longmont, Colorado. She has also worked in disaster ministry through the United Methodist Committee, as well as served in a variety of lay ministry roles throughout her adult life. After much discernment and denominational exploration, she is delighted to be early in the process of being considered for ordination within the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). She is currently serving as a ministerial intern at Cairn Christian Church in Lafayette, Colorado. Nicole has a passion for preaching and teaching on topics related to biblical equity including the learnings that can be taken from the narratives of female characters included, but often overlooked, in Scripture. She also has a Master of Environmental Management from the Yale School of the Environment and spent a long first career working for The Nature Conservancy in Connecticut, Alabama, Mississippi and Florida. Her years spent in a male-dominated science field provided many transferable lessons to her second career in ministry. She lives in Boulder County, Colorado with her husband, Jesse, their two children, and their beloved bulldog, Grace.
