Profile Category: Board of Trustees

Jeanette was exposed to Unity many years ago through her local PTA in a class that was presented by a Unity minister. Her strong resonance with Unity teachings caused her to soon join a Unity ministry in Irving, Texas, and then came to join Unity of Phoenix in 1974.

Jeanette was highly instrumental in the startup and growth of Unity of Verde Valley after the previous Unity ministry in Cottonwood led by Rev. Bruce Kellogg became inactive in 2017. She has served on the UVV Board of Trustees as its spiritual coordinator from its inception and took her current Board position in April 2020 when Rev. Charli Tupper was hired as senior minister.

Jeanette is a Licensed Unity Teacher, and her long history of volunteer work, serving as a volunteer coordinator, helping to lead a prayer ministry, leading a study group, and many other avenues of service makes her an invaluable member of the Unity of Verde Valley Board of Trustees. Jeanette feels that Unity is her spiritual home, and that UVV is a very special place.

Grace began attending Unity of Sedona in approximately 2008, and then moved her membership to the Cottonwood Unity Center of the Valley started by Rev. Bruce Kellogg in 2009. When Grace walked into Unity Center of the Valley and was so warmly welcomed there, she definitely felt acknowledged. She loved the community feel of greeting each other and the after-church gatherings.

Grace feels her long history as a legal secretary and good office skills prepared her for being of service on the Board of Trustees of Unity of Verde Valley. Grace enjoys being helpful and being a part of something important that brings people together.
