After graduation, Estelle worked in campus ministry at Mary Washington College in Fredericksburg, Va. Estelle then began work with the Board of Christian Education in Richmond, Va. In that role she gained national recognition for innovative teaching methods in religious education. She collaborated in the writing of numerous books and pamphlets relating to Christian education. In 1971, Ms. McCarthy married Charlie and moved to the Presbytery staff in Washington, D.C. She quickly gained a reputation for helping churches to pool staff and to coordinate efforts to produce stronger programs throughout the Presbytery.

Among activities in which she exhibited powerful leadership were leading workshops, functioning as a church elder, consulting about educational efforts, General Assembly Task Forces, Montreat Workshop leader, author or co-author of several books. In 1992, the Lilly Endowment acknowledged her expertise by awarding a grant for research on the non-ordained minister. Ms. McCarthy served 11 years as associate professor of Christian education at the Presbyterian School of Christian Education. She retired from that position in 1999. In 2002, she was the author of "Valley Creek Presbyterian Church, Her Life and Times 1817-2002." The book is composed of documentary history, as well as reminiscences from many persons intimately connected with Valley Creek Church. In 2009, Estelle McCarthy received a Lifetime Achievement Award for Excellence in Christian Education from The Resource Center. Estelle had many friends. She was enthusiastic about her family, the Presbyterian church, music and people in general.
