Our Called Minister, Reverend Manish Mishra


We are very excited to welcome our new called minister beginning Sept. 1, 2009.

In a recent interview, Mishra said he was attracted to our congregation because it’s an organization that is growing both internally and externally, bolstering its support for its congregants while developing its outreach to other communities.

He added that this is a church of 300 that’s well on its way to being a church of 500. They’re actively engaged in social-justice issues, with marriage equality being one of those, as well as economic issues and homelessness. It was very important to me that I be in a community that cares about making a difference.
