Rev. Dr. Maria Seaman is the founder and Pastor of Shekinah Worship International Ministries (SWIM) at Shekinah Worship Centre, Bermuda.

Dr. Seaman’s journey to her current calling by God began at the age of seven when her mother led her in the sinner’s prayer as she knelt beside her bed. Growing up in the New Testament Church of God, a Pentecostal church, prepared Dr. Seaman for her position as Pastor, as she held various positions of trust including teacher of the New Members’ Class, Island Evangelist, and Radio Minister.

In 1997, Dr. Seaman heard the voice of God speak to her concerning her call to the pastorate, which led to her obtaining her Master’s and Doctoral Degrees in Biblical Studies from Andersonville Theological Seminary. She has traveled to and preached in Trinidad, South Africa, and many places within the United States, constantly seeking God, obeying his voice, spreading the Good News of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and ensuring that she always worshipped God “in spirit and in truth.”

In October 2005, Dr. Seaman began to formalize plans for her move into purpose and destiny, and so in September 2006, Shekinah Worship International Ministries at Shekinah Worship Centre, Bermuda was birthed. Each week Dr. Seaman delivers a fresh word to God’s people, using visual aids to vividly illustrate the message and to help make the Word crystal clear to everyone present.

Dr. Seaman’s preaching and teaching style can be partially attributed to her original vocation as a Biology and Science teacher for nineteen years in the local school system. She is an author of two books, The World of the Womb in God’s Plan for Man and Wombs II. Dr. Seaman writes a weekly column in the local newspaper, hosts a weekly radio broadcast, Echoes of Shekinah, and she can also be seen twice a month on television during the church’s program, A Shekinah Word. Her home business, “Vine Creations”, meets a variety of computer graphic needs for her customers, and she recently established Vine Creations House Publishers, for the express purpose of editing and publishing works by other authors and poets.

Dr. Seaman, the second child of Mr. & Mrs. Raymond Russell Sr., is married to Elder Kent Seaman and they have been blessed with three daughters, K’Maria, Jenna-Maria, and D’Hstiny. Her greatest mission in life is to raise her daughters to be God-fearing, Holy Ghost filled, Christian women, fulfilling their purpose and destiny.

Dr. Seaman firmly believes that, “The safest place to be, is in the will of God.”

Blessings Abound!
