The work of exploring religion with children and youth snuck up on Kiersten unawares in the spring of 2016. She has since been delighted to discover a passion for Family Ministry and has enjoyed getting to know the children and parents who attend the Unitarian Church of Vancouver.

Kiersten’s early childhood was spent in the Baha’i faith which gave her a very strong sense of mystery, spirituality, and connection between the ideas of science and religion. When she was eleven years old she started attending First Universalist Church in Minneapolis, Minnesota with her mother and younger brother. Since then, Kiersten has always sought out Unitarian Universalist churches and fellowships everywhere she has lived, which includes Iowa, West Virginia, Washington D.C., and Kentucky. Kiersten moved to the Vancouver area with her family from Kentucky in 2014 and has been a member of the Unitarian Church of Vancouver since the fall of 2015.

Kiersten brings a rich experience of many Unitarian and Unitarian Universalist churches to her work here in Vancouver. She strives to find the Fun with Meaning and directs our children, youth, and family programs with a focus on building community, exploring what it means to be Unitarian, questioning, and developing personal relationships with stillness and wonder.
