Clergy Boundaries
Many denominations require their clergy to undergo periodic training in Clergy Ethical Boundaries. Reilly was trained by the Faith Trust Institute to provide such trainings. Participants leave this training feeling empowered to guard their own time and boundaries which leads to flourishing ministry. Reilly can present as part of a longer conference or hold a half-day workshop as part of your annual meeting.

What people are saying
“Reilly did an amazing job officiating our wedding and setting an intimate and beautiful mood for our day!! A few weeks before the service, they interviewed us for about an hour in order to get to know us and our vision for our lives together. We felt heard and we were put at ease by the way they handled this. But even we were surprised at how well they understood us. Reilly’s comments at the ceremony were so specific in describing our relationship and our unique story, that our family and friends were convinced that we had had been close friends with them forever.
They were truly wonderful and kind, and so much fun and we would recommend them to anyone planning a wedding.”
“There are speakers who talk, and then there are speakers who connect. Reilly is one of the rare few who can walk into a room and have every person leaning in, fully engaged, from the very first word. They speak with the heart of a storyteller—authentic, funny, and refreshingly real. What makes Reilly extraordinary is their ability to express things in a way that feels deeply personal, even if you never expected to relate. They’re witty, insightful, and always keep you on your toes, effortlessly blending humor with meaning. Whether it’s a room of ten or a crowd of hundreds, Reilly leaves a lasting impression—and makes you feel like you were part of something truly special.”
“In Reilly’s preaching, I value sensing how they think, ponder, sometimes wrestle to uncover, and choose the message and words calling to be shared. Each time I experiencing listening to Reilly, I leave holding tightly to all that I’ve heard, excited, hopeful, and prayerful. The experience moves me to walk with, ponder, and sometimes wrestle with meeting, knowing, and living God’s love, compassion, and justice in the world.”
“Reilly has the ability to connect immediately with diverse audiences. They are so engaging and have such expert command of the material that folks are drawn in and engage effortlessly.”
“Reilly officiated my wedding and did a wonderful job; they made us both feel so comfortable and really listened to what we needed and wanted out of our ceremony. There was so much other stress on the wedding day, but working with Reilly was an absolute pleasure!”
