The Ministerial Search Team recommended to the Governing Circle that we hire Rev. Crystal Zerfoss as our first minister. At our Governing Circle meeting last Thursday, we unanimously approved hiring her. She will serve a one year term for quarter time, beginning August 1st.

In addition to providing one worship service a month, she will work with us to develop a children and family ministry program, provide pastoral services, and help create more small group programming.

Rev. Crystal is originally from the East Coast, but now lovingly calls the Pacific Northwest home. She completed her seminary training at Seattle University School of Theology and Ministry and most recently served the Community Unitarian Universalist Church in Pasco, Washington and the Juneau Unitarian Universalist Fellowship in Juneau, Alaska.

On Saturday, she joined us at the Pride march, and on Sunday was with us for our worship service and annual meeting. Welcome to INUUC, Rev. Crystal!
