Rev. Dr. Shannan Vance-Ocampo

Shannan is the General Presbyter of the Presbytery of Southern New England and has served in ministry in the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) since 2001 in both congregations and mid-councils. Her ministry has been focused in both congregational settings and those of social justice ministry both internationally and domestically. She is an avid gardener, growing food and perennials. Five years ago she became “mom” to four (which are now six!) ridiculous backyard chickens alongside the other inhabitants of the ever-growing habitat she is cultivating. 

In 2024 Shannan completed her Doctor of Ministry degree which focused on the intersection of ecology and ministry. Her research project was centered on clergy and how they can best be resourced theologically, spiritually and with practical skills for ministry during our time of climate crisis. Prior to this work, she completed a fellowship with GreenFaith and has trained in clergy coaching. She is currently working on a book on eco-spirituality and leadership. 

Shannan and her husband, Juan Gabriel Ocampo Valle, live in Albany, New York and continue to maintain a family home in his home country of Colombia.
