Meet Our Minister

Rev. Lisa Friedman grew up Unitarian Universalist in Rochester, N.Y. from the age of 7. She has served congregations in New York, Michigan, and Minnesota for the past 26 years. She is passionate about building strong, multigenerational communities that make a difference in the world and is excited to join UUCM in shared ministry. Outside of congregational life, she is active in the broader Unitarian Universalist community. She teaches UU history, mentors new ministers and supports other congregations through times of change and growth. In her spare time, she loves to bake, garden, and travel. Rev. Lisa lives in Northeast Minneapolis with her husband and has two young-adult sons, Ben and Sam.


If you have a joy or sorrow, life-cycle event, or concern you would like to share with the congregation, please fill out this online form or send an email to Rev. Lisa Friedman at revlisa@uucmtka.org.   

Weekly Minister's Message

Each Wednesday, Rev. Lisa shares a pastoral video message with the congregation about the state of the church and the state of our world. Sign up for our Mid-Week Message or watch it on our Facebook page.
