Phillip Bass joins Nativity for the next few months as an intern discerning a call to the priesthood. Phillip will be joining in on zoom calls, participating in worship, and being a part of the community as we help him learn more about his call and prepare for his next steps towards ordination.
Phillip calls North Carolina home. He grew up in the Methodist tradition in Greensboro, NC. Having made his way to the Triangle to attend UNC, this area has been home ever since. Phillip completed his M.Div and Th.M from Duke Divinity School. During his time at Duke, he found his way to the Episcopal Church and was confirmed at Church of the Good Shepherd. Following seminary, Phillip worked at the Duke Cancer Center for several years while completing a Masters in Mental Health Counseling at NCCU. Since 2014, Phillip has been in private practice for mental health counseling in Raleigh. After several moves around the Triangle, Phillip’s family settled in Durham in 2013 and found a home at St. Luke’s. Phillip enjoys spending time with his husband and 7-year old son. They recently found a love of camping and look forward to time away together.
