Our Minister

Our minister has moved, and we have yet to find a replacement, so we anticipate a “gap” period without a minister. Unitarian Universalists have a long tradition of lay led congregations. In fact, for the first 40 years this congregation was lay-led. We have strong, experienced lay leaders who are ready to lead Sunday Services, general operations and our missions.
