Rev. Henderson-Belsito

The Rev. Gail Henderson-Belsito will be on the University of the Ozarks campus March 13-17 as part of the University’s Struthers Visiting Pastoral Study Leave Program.

Henderson-Belsito serves as the associate minister at Caldwell Presbyterian Church in Charlotte, N.C.  She will speak at the University’s weekly Chapel Serivce at 11:30 a.m. on Tuesday, March 14, in Munger-Wilson Chapel.

Born and raised in Brooklyn, N.Y., Henderson-Belsito graduated from Williams College in Williamstown, Mass., with a degree in political science. She earned a master’s degree in liberal studies at Wesleyan University in Middletown, Conn. She and her husband, Steve, and their two children moved to Charlotte, from Connecticut in 2002.

After more than 20 years of raising and homeschooling two children, she went back to school and earned a master of divinity degree at Union Presbyterian Seminary in Charlotte in 2020.

Henderson-Belsito loves to travel, especially to Spain. She has been there more than 20 times. She loves to journal and has more than 300 volumes spanning from 1986 to the present. When she is not traveling, journaling, reading, leading retreats, preaching, or lecturing somebody, she can be found either watching “To Catch a Smuggler ” on the National Geographic Channel or staring at her extensive Pilot Precise V5 pen collection.

The Pastoral Study Leave Program was established in 2005 by the late Rev. Dr. James R. Struthers of Stillwater, Okla., a long-time member of the University’s Board of Trustees. Struthers established the program to bring Presbyterian pastors to the U of O campus for personal and professional development.
