After a year-long search, the United Church of Christ Board’s Search Committee for General Minister and President has made a historic choice in recommending Rev. Dr. Karen Georgia Thompson as nominee. If elected, she would be the first woman, and the first woman of African descent, to lead the denomination.

MMSC Looks Forward to Working in Partnership with Nominee

“I want to congratulate Rev. Dr. Thompson on her nomination. The United Church of Christ national setting has been blessed by her leadership for 14 years, and her extensive career history across multiple settings of the Church will serve us well as we continue becoming the Church God is calling us to become.”
