Board of Trustees

The Board of Trustees of Unity Church-Unitarian represents the congregation in shaping the vision and long-term goals of the church. We ensure the church is externally effective and internally efficient, and we create policy and direction for the Executive Team and church staff.

For matters concerning church policy, long-term vision, and goals, contact the board by email to board@unityunitarian.org.  We want to hear from you!  For concerns or ideas on matters related to church programming, contact the Executive Team.

The Board of Trustees meets in the Anderson Library each month. Currently, the Board meets monthly on the second Saturday, from 9:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m., for the full calendar year. Minutes of each board meeting are posted below.

The annual congregational meeting is held in November.

For information about the search for Unity's next settled minister, please see our Ministerial Transition page.

Trustee Recruitment 

Unity's board has decided to try a hybrid committee of trustees and non-trustees working together to recruit trustee candidates. The Board Recruitment Committee — Clover Earl, Mary Hernandez, and LauraSue Schlatter — has invited two members of our congregation to join us. We are grateful that Ari Giles and Kevin Ward have agreed to partner with us in this endeavor. 

Information about board service and trustee applications will be available in June. Watch your email and the Unity Church website for details. If you are curious about board service, please reach out to Clover Earl at 2clover@gmail.com.

Ari Giles lives in the Mill District of Downtown Minneapolis. After taking time to explore other areas of the country, she's thrilled to be back in the Twin Cities. Though her membership is recent, her participation in Unity's community has deep roots after being raised in the church. Currently a worship associate, she's excited to help with the recruitment committee and looks forward to connecting with anyone interested in joining the board. 
​
Kevin Ward is married to Jess Goff and has two children — Murray (15) and Olive (12). They have been members of Unity Church since 2011. Kevin teaches at Avalon School and has been a rotations and Coming of Age teacher and mentor. He was also a worship associate and participated in the recovery from white conditioning group. Kevin is currently left-handed and back in the day enjoyed making mix tapes.
