Bailey Liebhart is new to The Bluegrass State and excited to serve as the campus ministry director. Nearing the completion of their initial professional credentials, Bailey received their MDIV from Princeton Theological Seminary in 2025, graduated ACPE residency with Yale-New Haven Health earlier this year, is months away from being ordained within the PCUSA, and will complete APC board certification next year. They work full time as a behavioral health chaplain at Eastern State Hospital with professional specialties in trauma-informed spiritual care, epistemology, and humanist applications of queer theory. When they’re not working or writing essays, Bailey enjoys a normal life hiking, hanging out with the local LGBTQ+ community, and walking their dogs Hazel and Rufous.

Bailey is so excited for the 2026-2027 academic year, and to get to know the UKirk students of Maxwell Street!
