    Pastor Marie Dudley

    In 1999, she returned to the seminary that she had
    previously attended and became a professor and the
    Director of the Chaplaincy Program. She later took the
    position of Registrar and assumed most of the daily
    operation duties of the seminary.

    In the summer of 2000, Rev. Dudley and her husband
    started a nonprofit organization, L.R. Eskew Renewed Life
    Training Center:

    "to provide training, chaplaincy, advocacy, and victim
    assistance to those needing those types of services."

    In November of 2002, the name was changed to Renewed
    Life Training Institute. In February of 2003, Rev. Dudley
    officially opened Renewed Life Training Institute, Seminary
    and Pastoral Counseling Services in Lakewood,
    Washington.

    Rev. Dudley is also very active in the business community
    of Lakewood . She is one of the past presidents of the
    Ambassador's Club for the Lakewood Chamber of
    Commerce; the president of the Business Women's
    Network and has been an active member of three local
    nonprofit boards.
    On December 2, 2005 , a fire destroyed the building that
    had housed the ministries of Renewed Life Training
    Institute and Seminary. Rev. Dudley endeavored to rebuild
    with the help of the Lord and continue in the plans and
    purposes that God had called her to. Rev. Dudley returned
    to the classroom herself in the summer of 2007 when she
    began attending Clinical Pastoral Educations classes at St.
    Joseph Hospital in Tacoma, WA and subsequently began a
    Hospice Residency in the fall of 2007 that lasted one year.

    Rev. Marie Dudley was officially ordained to the ministry in
    1992 and lives in Tacoma, Washington with her husband of
    thirty-two years, Reverend Will Dudley who is somewhat
    active in the ministry, even though he "officially" retired in
    1998.
Over the years, Reverend Dudley experienced
many types of unusual ministry situations in
many parts of the world. She has:

  • Traveled and taught in Taiwan, Korea,
    and several other Far East countries.

  • Assisted Wycliffe translators in two
    Colombian tribes in the Amazon jungle.

  • Worked in a refugee camp and
    orphanage in Guatemala.

  • Involved in local church ministries.

  • Assistant Pastor in two Korean/American
    churches.

  • Served as a nursing home and assisted
    living chaplain.

  • Chaplain for Tacoma Police Department
    - the only Chaplain serving the
    Washington State Patrol, at District I in
    Tacoma, Washington since 1977, and
    until recently, was the only female police
    chaplain in Pierce County.
