Rev. Lois McCullen Parr (White, she/her/hers)

Interim Site Pastor, Edgewater

Lois rides the rails to commute from her home in Michigan to where she stays in Chicago to serve as UVC-E’s Interim Site Pastor until summer 2024. As Co-Founder with Justice Leaders Collaborative, Lois balances two jobs, two states, and two time zones in hopes of building and sustaining communities that work for a more just world.

Lois loves Lake Michigan (the sunrise in Chicago and the sunset in Michigan), words (as reader and writer), food (cooking and eating), and family (birth and chosen).

Lois is drawn to UVC because we “do church differently.”
