Taking the Journey Together,

One Step at a Time.

❊ Tracy McCabe Shelton ❊

In December 2024, I embarked on a journey to read, study, and share God’s Word. Since then, I’ve facilitated online and in-person Bible Book Clubs and created hundreds of short videos on selected Bible chapters and verses called “Bible Bits.”

I also created a Facebook page called “Just The Proverbs” to highlight timeless truths, and I’m currently in pre-production on a series of short faith-based films and a TV show.

Before diving into this biblical journey, I served as the Executive Director of the Kingsbridge-Riverdale-Van Cortlandt Development Corporation (KRVC), a New York-based not-for-profit. During my 14 years there, I developed extensive programs, initiatives, and events to serve the Northwest Bronx. Prior to KRVC, I spent nearly two decades working as a Consumer Attorney for the New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG).

I grew up in Maryland where I am currently an active member of Atlantic United Methodist Church/AUMC. (Photo above was taken at AUMC in September 2025 when I announced the Bible Book Club in a Mission Moment). Currently, while I am based in New York where I have lived for more than three decades and raised two sons, I spend as much time as I can with my mother in Maryland and Florida. 

Beyond reading and studying the Bible, I love spending time with family and friends, participating in church and cultural activities, traveling, swimming, practicing yoga, taking long walks, and enjoying the beach whenever I can.

In February of 2024, I was privileged to meet Tracy McCabe Shelton. From that meeting Tracy began attending Atlantic United Methodist Church and has become a faithful member of this community of faith. I, as her pastor, have been excited to witness a “spiritual awakening” in her life that has inspired her to share the truths of God through her own vision of “Bible Bits” on social media, and the “Atlantic United Methodist Church Bible Book Club.” To give credibility to her work, she has read the Bible from beginning to end in less than a year which is quite an achievement. I am proud to be Tracy’s pastor, and am excited for her fine contributions she has made and will continue to contribute to the mission and ministry of our Lord Jesus Christ here on earth.
