Our Ministers

SOME OF OUR MEMBERS

Rev. R. Lanier Clance
Founder and Minister Emeritus

First E operates on the basis of Congregational Polity, governed by a Board of Directors elected by the membership. Congregationalists are encouraged to follow their own passion, determining for themselves how they can best live their lives and contribute to our community. Our guilds, committees, special programs, projects, and celebrations are guided through the hearts and actions of our members and friends.

The Congregation functions as a fellowship with Rev. Marsha Mitchiner serving part time as our Fellowship Minister. Members, Friends and invited guest speakers lead our Sunday Celebrations of Life. Time is provided in the service for announcements of both personal and community interest. Singing, and invited guest musicians provide additional entertainment, while refreshments are available before and after the service. Discussion groups meet regularly to learn and debate existential and feminist philosophy.

We invite you into our home, and hope that you will join us on our spiritual journey toward human liberation.
