Rev Rebecca Nagy, Minister Emerita (Retired)
Minister Emerita - Reverend Rebecca A. Nagy
An Inspirational Speaker, Spiritual Director, Meditation Coach, and Spiritual Teacher, Reverend Rebecca has founded and led two congregations in the past 21 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.
Embracing a strong message from Spirit, she made the decision to retire from the Pulpit and establish the Golden Quest Mystery School in fall of 2018.
The school echoes the curriculum which Rev. Rebecca was privileged to study through Sancta Sophia Seminary with Rev. Carol Parrish-Harrah. She has also studied with a myriad of other teachers since the mid 70's, including Wayne Dyer, The Rev. Dr. Donald Curtis, Rev. Ellen Resch,Torkom Saraydarian, Caroline Myss and Dr. Valerie Hunt.
Rebecca is committed to developing programs that focus on bringing spiritual principles and ethics grounded in the Ageless Wisdom Teachings into all areas of our lives and communities.
Rebecca spent the first 25 years of her career in the fashion industry, where she was a Fashion Director, Merchandiser, Designer and Divisional Private Brands Manager for Divisions of Federated and May Co. Department Stores, Kmart International, and Belk Stores Services.
It was her position as the National Training Director for the Singles Division of Jerrell Inc. that led to her interest in the training of spiritually based leaders for the 21st century.
As a result, Rebecca left her fashion career in 1998 to pursue her ever-growing inspirational speaking and teaching career. That decision was based on her first-hand experience in the global marketplace, where she saw the need to combine her spiritual training with her experience in corporate America. Her goal is to use that integration to help shift the old paradigms of power and control to the emerging paradigms of ethics and spiritual principles in all aspects of our lives, not just in our churches, synagogues, and temples.
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.
