Rev. Karen Madrone is excited to begin serving St. John’s UU in August as our developmental minister!

She became a UU at her home church in Greensboro, NC, (UUCG) in 2006. During UUCG’s time of transition from a settled minister, interim, developmental and now a very successful settled ministry, she realized she was called to be a UU minister and to help congregations through their own transitions.

Rev. Karen attended seminary at Union Theological Seminary in New York City, graduating in May 2019, and was ordained at UUCG in June 2019. She served a congregation in Cottonwood Heights, UT, followed by serving in Decatur, IL.  

Rev. Karen currently serves the UU Church of Farmington Hills, MI. Rev. Karen and her wife Michelle share their home with their dog Letty, a foxhound, and Don, a cornsnake. They love birding, hiking, and biking. They are looking forward to exploring Cincinnati!
