An Award-winning wedding Officiant, Reverend Nagy is also a Certified Pastoral Counselor/Spiritual Director, Motivational Speaker, Author, Meditation Coach, and Spiritual Teacher.
She has led two congregations in the past 22 years: New Directions Community Church where she was the founding pastor, and most recently as Senior Minister/Spiritual Leader of Spiritual Light Center of Charlotte, where she is now Minister Emeritus.
Rebecca is committed to working with couples to ensure that each ceremony is unique to them, and reflects their faith traditions, customs and personalities.
As a professional speaker, Rebecca has spoken to hundreds of audiences and written and officiated over 2700 weddings. She has also been profiled in local, national and international media, and appeared on radio and TV talk shows.
Rebecca spent the first 25 years of her career in the fashion industry, where she was a Fashion Director, Merchandiser, Fashion Designer (Watters and Watters, Jaclyn Smith, Focus Apparel) and Divisional Private Brands Manager for Divisions of Federated and May Co. Department Stores, Lord and Taylor, Kmart International, and Belk Stores Services.
After graduating from Sancta Sophia Seminary in 1996, she chose to leave her fashion career to pursue her ever-growing wedding ministry, professional speaking and teaching vocations.
Using Einstein’s observation: "The problems that exist in the world today cannot be solved by the same level of thinking that created them", as her guiding principle, Rebecca emphasizes the need to change our perspectives on how we earn our living, educate our children, and renew our religious institutions.
She believes that…"we need to think in new directions, to come up with new concepts of doing business, leading our country, and educating our children. Our religious institutions need to be revitalized, with judgment, divisiveness and discrimination eradicated once and for all. Our intentions need to be more broad-based, not about money and power, but about treating the environment and people with dignity and respect. We need to look with an eye to the future, not just the immediate bottom line. If we use these as our guiding principles in the 21st Century, profit becomes a by-product of a new paradigm of wealth!”
Rebecca is a graduate of The University of North Carolina-Greensboro and Sancta Sophia Seminary. She has served on the boards of NACE (The National Association of Catering and Event Professionals), Light of Christ Community Church, Spiritual Directors International, and the Board of Governors of Sancta Sophia Seminary.
