Beth McCaw teaches ministry at UDTS with special attention given to caregiving, mission, and congregational life. As an ordained minister in the Presbyterian Church (USA) she served as Associate Pastor of Care and Outreach in a church in Florida prior to coming to UDTS in 2004. Between 2019-2022 she was on part time release to serve as Presbytery Leader for Glacier Presbytery (MT), with special focus on models for small church life and leadership nurture. A sense of privilege in shepherding disciples in their call to ministry grew while she served on and moderated Florida Presbytery Committee on Preparation for Ministry. The concentration for her M.Div. was in pastoral care and counseling and her D.Min. work focused on congregational systems and spiritual renewal. In other chapters, with her husband Scott Beth ministered in new church development and education in Namibia, Africa; while in Massachusetts she provided crisis counseling and administration in a crisis respite home.
