UU Church of Kent Calls Rev. Kristina Church As Settled Minister

It is with great joy that our congregation’s members voted unanimously to call the Reverend Kristina Church to be our settled minister at a special meeting on January 18, 2026.

The Reverend Church has been serving us as a contract minister since August of 2024  Being called changes her role from being contracted on a yearly basis to long-term covenantal partnership with us. 

The special meeting and vote were the culmination of a months-long discernment process that compared the hopes and dreams of our congregants around ministry to the ministry being delivered by Reverend Church. 

Thanks to the Contract-to-call task force for their exemplary work in gathering the information and writing a summary report (emailed to church members and friends) that showed that we, the congregation and the Reverend Kristina Church to be a great match.
