Our minister, the Rev. Millie Rochester, describes her ministry as one of relationship, and to that end believes it is everything we do, together. She is active in the wider Unitarian Universalist movement, serving as Field Adviser for a seminarian at Meadville Lombard Theological School, and a mentor for a colleague who is relatively new to ministry.

Rev. Millie grew up in Maine and the San Francisco Bay area. She attended University of the Pacific and California State University, where she met her life partner, Roger, and earned her Bachelor of Arts degree. She and Roger have been married since 1971. They have four grown children and a beautiful granddaughter, all of whom live in Oregon.

Millie served as Director of Religious Education for the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Salem, Oregon for twelve years before receiving her Masters of Divinity degree from Meadville Lombard Theological School. She was a Chaplain at the Veterans Administration Center in Portland, Oregon, and interned in Cleveland, before serving the First Unitarian Church in Chicago for two years. They moved to Florida in 2005, where she served as Associate Minister for the Unitarian Universalists of Clearwater before coming to Winnipeg.

Millie is available during her office hours at the church—Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 10-3—and by appointment at other times. She looks forward to talking with you about your own spiritual journey, your concerns, and your joys, creating justice in the world, or whatever subject you would like to explore.
