About Susan Kay Simonds

Susan lives in Washington and was ordained by American Marriage Ministries on March 13th, 2012.

Hello! I am a seminary trained chaplain who was never ordained previously because the denomination I was in did not believe in ordaining women. However, I've had 13 years experience as a chaplain. First as a chaplain intern in a hospital while I took CPE (Clinical Pastoral Education) and then as a chaplain resident while I took another unit of CPE. I then worked for 7 years at a Catholic hospital as a chaplain and my most recent gig was as a hospice chaplain for almost 4 years. Throughout the years, I have facilitated many memorial services, baptized those who requested it, served communion, officiated at funerals, sung at funerals and performed marriage rites.
