Our Minister

 

Rev. Micah Murdock

My path to Unity Ministry allowed me to develop diverse skills and practice a life of service. At 17 years of age, I entered a Franciscan Seminary/Monastery and developed a life of prayer and contemplation. I learned a life in Cloister was not my calling; I was called to service in the world among people

After leaving the Monastery I became a Special Education teacher; teaching students from grade school to college.  After earning my MA in Education from the University of Cincinnati I became a School Administrator and director of many non-profit education services.

I was ordained as a Unity Minister in 1988 and served Unity Churches as Senior Minister in three states, and in 2005 began serving as the Dean of Ministerial Studies at the Unity Institute.  In 2008 I chose to come to this beloved church, Unity of the Valley Spiritual Center, because I felt “called” and served as Senior Minister for five years. Following my tenure here, I served as a Chaplain for Yolo Hospice to comfort and spiritually support the dying.  I have been so blessed by my work.

I was honored to be asked to return to fill a transitional space left when the previous Senior Minster moved on to pursue new possibilities;  to help guide and lead the church forward to prepare for the next Senior Minister.

Unity of the Valley Spiritual Center is a center of love and truth, open to all. Please come join us.
