Our Community is Launching Ministry Teams
You are invited you to explore our new ministry teams! If you feel called to serve in any area—whether it’s finance and administration, care, worship, facilities, or stewardship—please reach out to Pastor Hannah Kardon, Chaplain Red Holdridge, or directly to the ministry Team Leads. Your gifts and passion are needed to help us grow together in faith and service.
Worship Ministry Team
The Worship team plans and supports Sunday worship and special services in collaboration with clergy and staff leaders. The worship team leader recruits and coordinates music, liturgy, tech, and hospitality. UCRP is delighted to encourage creative expression in worship that lives into our identity and values.
Team Lead: Jen Schmidt
Community Care & Connection Ministry Team
The Community Care and Connection team welcomes newcomers, organizes care efforts, equips and trains volunteers, coordinates outreach, and curate an inviting environment. By organizing meals and visits for folks in crisis and maintaining meaningful personal relationships throughout UCRP, our Community Care and Connection team makes sure that everyone feels at home in our space.
Team Leads: Chaplain Red Holdridge, Dina Patrick-Stuart & Missy Thrasher-Lyon
Stewardship Ministry Team
Our Stewardship team leads our annual stewardship campaign with creativity and sensitivity. By promoting a theology of giving that centers generosity as a spiritual practice, our Stewardship team highlights sustainable giving pathways like pledging, legacy giving, and community education.
Team Lead: Brandon Pond
Finance & Administration Ministry Team
Our finance and administration team maintains accuracy and transparency around how we manage our resources. Through close collaboration with the board and church leadership, the finance and admin team helps to create and maintain policies and resources to ensure stewardship alignment and assist with annual budgeting.
Team Lead: Matthew Kessler-McMunn
Facilities Team
Our facilities team oversees building care and maintenance. By being in deep and regular relationship with our building and grounds, our facilities team creates and maintains a beautiful and spiritually nourishing environment. Our facilities team also coordinates between staff and tenants to support sustainable relationships and resource sharing.
