Our Ministers and Staff

Ministry

The Unitarian Universalist Church of Palo Alto has entered into a covenant of shared ministry among its professional ministers and the congregation.

If you have a pastoral emergency, you can reach a minister at 650-494-0541 x25. One of the ministers will respond to your call.  For an appointment to meet with a minister, please call the UUCPA office at 650-494-0541, or contact the minister by e-mail.

Community ministry addresses the social and spiritual needs of people and organizations outside the direct care of congregations. Community Ministers may be chaplains, pastoral counselors, spiritual directors, university or theological school faculty, social justice activists, Unitarian Universalist Association staff, or practitioners of a wide range of other activities.
