Henrietta Rivers holds a Master of Divinity degree from Trinity School for
Ministry and has the daily privilege of sharing the Gospel of Christ to students at
Porter Gaud School as the Middle School Chaplain. In addition to teaching and
pastoral care at the school, Henrietta serves at St. John’s Chapel, Charleston where
her husband, The Rev. Matthew Rivers, is the Rector. At St. John’s she is a Bible
study teacher and women’s ministry leader, as well as leader of the parish’s prayer
and inner healing ministries.
Henrietta’s greatest realization is that she is a vessel of Christ, to be used as He
desires. She says this takes the pressure off presenting the Word of God. “I’m not
responsible for the Work of Scripture. My only job is to present the truth in its
purest form; God does the rest.”
Henrietta and Matthew have two children, Kariesha, 31, and Herbert Jordan, 25.
She serves on the boards of New Wineskins, Florence Crittendon Charleston, and
Anglican Women of South Carolina, and on the Bishop’s Search Committee for
the Anglican Diocese of South Carolina. In each capacity she exercises her love
for people and fulfills Christ’s mandate found in Matthew 28:19-20: “Therefore go
and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of
the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have
commanded you. And surely, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
